Cristiano Ronaldo Accused of Massive Tax Evasion After 'Biggest Leak in Sporting History'
Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo has accused of using shell companies in the British Virgin Islands to avoid tax on tens of millions of Euros, in an early part of what threatens to be a seismic set of leaks as Football Leaks collaborate with a network of major newspapers.
Spanish newspaper El Mundo is one of 12 newspapers working together to pore over 1.9TB of data sent to Der Spiegel - and the Spaniards report that Ronaldo was 'protecting' his income from 2009, before he even moved to Real Madrid.
Ronaldo is said to have concealed "74.8 million euros via an offshore company called Tollin, registered in the British Virgin Islands", according to Friday evening's report - with more funds secreted elsewhere.
The Portuguese superstar is far from the only high-profile name to be implicated though - with reports that Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho concealed €12m in a 'system' set up by agent Jorge Mendes. That concealment is said to have been spotted in a Spanish tax audit, leading to the recovery of €4.4m in back-payments and fines.
