RONALDO DENIES COMMITTING TAX FRAUD IN SPAIN

Cristiano Ronaldo has denied regularly concealing any pay from the taxman or conferring any duty extortion in Spain. The Portuguese worldwide expressed this on Tuesday through his agents, hours after a duty extortion claim was documented against him in Madrid. "There is no tax avoidance plot … There has never been any concealing nor any goal to shroud anything," Gestifute, the organization speaking to the Real Madrid player, said in an announcement. Spain's prosecutor's office in Madrid had said before that it had recorded a claim against the 32-year-old for purportedly duping Spanish experts of 14.7 million euros in the vicinity of 2011 and 2014. In an announcement, the prosecutor's office said Ronaldo had purposely utilized a "business structure" made in 2010 to conceal his wage in Spain from his picture rights. It said the claim depended on a report sent to the prosecutor's office from Spain's duty organization, AEAT.
