The footballer and his father were found guilty of three counts of tax fraud in Wednesday's ruling by the court in Barcelona. As well as the jail terms, Messi was fined about €2m and his father €1.5m. They made a voluntary €5m "corrective payment", equal to the alleged unpaid tax plus interest, in August 2013. The sentence can be appealed against via the Spanish supreme court.
FC Barcelona club considers that the player, who has corrected his position with the Spanish tax office,is in no way criminally responsible with regards to the facts underlined in this case.
