Prosecutors Present Charges Against Three Former Real Madrid Players For Tax Fraud

Spanish prosecutors have presented charges against three former Real Madrid players, Xabi Alonso, Angel Di Maria and Ricardo Carvalho, "for alleged tax fraud," according to Sarah White of REUTERS. Madrid's provincial prosecutor confirmed in a statement that "it had presented tax charges against three soccer players and said it was investigating two others, after acting on information from Spain's tax authorities." It did not name the players involved or detail the exact charges it was pursuing. It will now be up to a court to investigate the cases and decide "whether to bring the charges against the players." The "two players being investigated" are former Atlético Madrid striker Radamel Falcao -- now at Monaco -- and Fabio Coentrao. Gestifute, a Lisbon-based agency which represents Di Maria, Carvalho, Falcao and Coentrao, did not respond to several requests for comment. Inaki Ibanez, an agent for midfielder Alonso, now at Bayern Munich, did not respond either (REUTERS, 12/8).
