Re: Messi going to jail
He is unlikely to go to prison.
Jesus didn't die so we could have religion. He died so we could have a deep, intimate, personal relationship with God.

He's not going to jail. Stop it!

Re: Messi going to jail
Lionel Messi and his father have been sentenced to 21 months in jail for tax fraud but won't serve a prison sentence under Spanish law- Sentence will be suspended because under Spanish law, sentences under 2 years can be suspended. So Messi won't serve any actual jail time.
Anyone that can fry 3 sets of plantain without putting any in their mouth can keep a secret.
Re: Messi going to jail
Money is powerful. Could that be the reason they were sentence to 21months and not more? Just thinking.kendo wrote:Lionel Messi and his father have been sentenced to 21 months in jail for tax fraud but won't serve a prison sentence under Spanish law- Sentence will be suspended because under Spanish law, sentences under 2 years can be suspended.

Re: Messi going to jail
Messi Fined £1.7m And Sentenced To Jail Term
Barcelona football star Lionel Messi has been sentenced to 21 months in prison over a tax fraud case in Spain.
However, the striker - generally considered the best in the world currently - is unlikely to face any time in jail as a term of under two years in duration, for a non-violent offence, usually results in a period of probation under Spanish law.
The court in Barcelona found the Argentina player and his father, who handles his financial affairs, guilty of three offences.
Jorge Messi was also handed a 21-month prison term and fine of €1.7m (£1.4m).
His son, who is understood to earn £26m in annual salary under his current club contract alone and is said to be worth at least £240m, was told to pay €2m (£1.7m).

Both men have the right to take their sentences to appeal.
They were accused of using tax havens in Uruguay and Belize to hide more than £3m in earnings from image rights from the Spanish tax authorities.
The 29-year old footballer told his trial he knew nothing of how his money was managed and admitted signing documents without reading them.
He told the court last month: "The truth is no, the truth is no, I didn't know.
"As my dad explained earlier I just dedicated myself to playing football, I put my trust in my father, in the lawyers who had decided to manage this thing."
Messi's lawyers said he never examined a series of contracts between 2007 and 2009 which dealt with the income from image rights with companies including Adidas, Pepsi-Cola, Danone, Procter and Gamble, Banco Sabadell and the Kuwait Food Company.
He made a voluntary payment of £3.8m in August 2013 to cover unpaid tax and interest.
Messi - who has been voted World Player of the Year five times - confirmed his international retirement in the run-up to the verdict after Argentina crashed to a defeat against Chile in the final of the Copa America

Re: Messi going to jail
...sensational headline. Sentenced to 21 months, according to their (Spain) law he will not do jail time.

Re: Messi going to jail
The 21 months appear to have been picked "intentionally" to avert Prison time for Messi. Had it been Chief "Akamoke" or I, 25 months; at least, would have been imposed on us and off we go to jail. While in Prison, should we challenge any rule or refuse any instruction, another 25 months will be addedakamoke wrote:Yep, 21 months is technicality so nothing to see except headlines

If you were able to evade that much tax money you probably would be able to afford lawyers who would have you get off just as lightly.Odas wrote:The 21 months appear to have been picked "intentionally" to avert Prison time for Messi.

Silence is often misinterpreted but never misquoted.
There is no key to happiness. The door is always open.
After all is said and done, a lot more will be said than done!
