Former Real Madrid manager and current Brazil boss Carlo Ancelotti has lost his tax fraud case against the Spanish state, and has been found guilty. It looks as if the Italian will avoid any jail time for his offences.
That is the latest coming out of the Spanish capital, where Marca say that Ancelotti has been sentenced to a year in prison for his offences. The tax department had accused him of fraud during 2014 and 2015, when he was in charge and then subsequently sacked by Real Madrid following his first spell.
Initially, the tax department had accused Ancelotti of defrauding the state out of just over €1m over the two years, claiming that he did not pay the right amount due as a resident of Spain. Ancelotti had claimed that he had spent sufficient time elsewhere not to qualify as a resident in Spain during some of that time.
Ancelotti was acquitted of the charge in 2015, which amounted to €676k, but found guilty of the charge in 2014. As a result he will have to pay a fine of €386k, equivalent to the amount of tax that was not paid, and is also barred from receiving government grants going forward.

Tax invasion isn't for the Spanish based players only. The manager is part of the game. Very good CV, with one conviction.

He’s an Italian national but employed in Spain. He’s obligated by Spanish government to pay his taxes due to his income comes from a Spanish employer which is stated in Spain.
Laughable, Spanish state is a spiteful regime. Where was all this law abiding in the 90s when Madrid were going bankrupt and the Spanish State bought worthless training grounds for extortionate amounts of tax payer money to bail them out? Huh? Anyway I don't really care but it seems like a double standard to me, why didn't the Spanish state bail him out?
