Real Madrid striker Cristiano Ronaldo tries to avoid further problems with Spain's fiscal service.

After a detailed check on Cristiano, the Spanish tax authorities came to the conclusion that in the period from 2011 to 2013, the football player did not pay about 8 million euros in the state treasury from the proceeds from the sale of image rights.

Such an offense threatens Ronaldo with a two-year prison term or a fine of the same amount - 8 million euros.

As reported by Marca, without waiting for the outcome of the proceedings and formally charged Cristiano voluntarily contributed 6 million euros to close the issue of paying off tax debts.

Earlier for a similar offense Barcelona striker Lionel Messi was sentenced to conditional imprisonment for a period of 21 months.
