Italian soccer coach Carlo Ancelotti faces a court in Spain over alleged tax fraud. The public prosecutor’s office accuses the Real Madrid coach of not paying tax on income from image rights earned in 2014, according to a document from a court in the Spanish capital seen by the AFP news agency on Wednesday.
Accordingly, a judge said that Ancelotti had “conceded” that he had withheld around 386,000 euros from the Spanish state with his actions. There is “obviously sufficient evidence” to consider the acts alleged against Ancelotti as “alleged offenses against the state treasury,” the judge wrote.
According to the Spanish tax authority, Ancelotti paid tax on his salary as coach of the football club Real Madrid in 2014 – but not on the earnings from his image rights or the income associated with them.
However, the court dismissed a similar procedure for Ancelotti’s tax return for 2015. Ancelotti was registered as a tax resident in Great Britain at the time.
