Recently, the Madrid prosecutor's office filed a complaint against Ronaldo in the court of Pozuelo de Alarcon, in which he argues that the winger "voluntarily" and "knowingly" violated the tax laws. It is assumed that Ronaldo created a "business structure" in 2010 to conceal revenues from the sale of image rights in the period from 2011 to 2014. During this time, the Portuguese allegedly did not pay 14.7 million euros of taxes.

However, the company Gestifute, belonging to agent Ronaldo Jorge Mendes, issued a statement in which he categorically denied all charges.

"The prosecutor filed a complaint against Ronaldo, and not a lawsuit, but these are different things. They assume that Ronaldo is involved in an offshore structure, like other players, when the majority of income goes to a football player, and the society in which he lives does not receive anything, "Gestifute began..

"The income that Ronaldo received was declared in accordance with Spanish law on terms that the advisors of the football player considered acceptable. There were no offshore structures to avoid taxes ".

"The company Tollin is 100% owned by Cristiano Ronaldo since its inception in 2004. It was founded in 2004, when Ronaldo moved to Manchester United, six years before the transfer to Real Madrid. Its net profit was 12,753,685.28 euros ".

"When Ronaldo moved to Real Madrid, he retained the same structure that was in the UK, without creating anything new. For all these years, Ronaldo had no problems with taxes, which contradicts the insinuations of the prosecutor's office. All income was fully covered by Spanish tax law. The declared sums can be discussed, but it is clear that the footballer did not try to evade paying taxes ".

Previously, in such an offense was found guilty of the main competitor Ronaldo for the title of the best player in the world - Lionel Messi. The court sentenced the Argentine to 21 months in prison, but this punishment was replaced by a fine and public works.
