on the one hand, there was the historical victimhood Catalan, powered in these hours because Barcelona is suspected of the draw of the Champions league which threw him to the dangerous PSG as the next opponent. On the other hand, there was also the fact that Leo Messi is an argentine. We could exaggerate then when we suggested it had started in Spain a campaign to oust Messi of Barcelona. Which, as Florentino Perez was unable to take him to Real Madrid, he used all his power and influence that Leo will end up leaving Spain to the harassment of the irs. The alleged campaign included the Spanish government. Because he had to also give it a aleccionamiento to both the desire of the pro-indepen dence Catalan. Hit symbols such as Messi and the Barcelona. The club launched an ill-fated campaign to defend their star. "Leo –he came to tweet their president, Josep Maria Bartomeu, who will attack you, it attacks the Ship and its history." It sounded exaggerated. Until now that we learned that Cristiano Ronaldo, the symbol of Real Madrid, once again the Golden Ball, evaded supposedly a lot more money than Messi (€150 million). And that tax evasion was discovered by the press, not by the Treasury.
Twelve european newspapers gathered in the network of the European Investigative Collaborations (EIC) started in December, the publication of Football Leaks, the leaking of documents to the wider history of the sport. The German weekly Der Spiegel obtained 18.6 million documents on the filthy rags of football. Worked with eight computer six months. And teamed up to seven other media: Mediapart (France), The Sunday Times (England), Expresso (Portugal), El Mundo (Spain), L’espresso (Italy), Le Soir (Belgium), NRC Handelsblad (the Netherlands) and The Black Sea (Romania). The most important documents lay bare a network of societies (Gestifute, Polaris and MIM) in Ireland, British Virgin Islands, Panama and Switzerland created by the superpowerful agent Portuguese Jorge Mendes to help their players to evade around 188 million euros. Of them, 149,5 million would be Cristiano Ronaldo. The crack Portuguese paid in that period to 5.6 million euros to the treasury wh en it should have paid over 70 million. The investigation affects other players represented by Mendes (colombians Radamel Falcao and James Rodriguez, the Portuguese Pepe and Fabio Coentrao). And "everything, ” he says Mediapart- "with the financial participation or the complicity, of the biggest club in the world, Real Madrid."
Day renowned in Spain devoted covers to the case Messi (El pais, Marca and AS) almost ignored this new report. How can we forget the caps last July, when Messi and his father were sentenced to 21 months in prison? It was for evading € 4.1 million to not declare 10,1 admitted between 2007 and 2009. The questions multiply: why the Treasury is not investigated to Ronaldo if the Portuguese led always the lists of Forbes of the players that more of the money they receive from advertising? Why is it that in a previous case that affected Real Madrid, the DT Jose Mourinho received only a penalty tax and, instead, Messi (for a similar crime) was convicted? Why a case was secret, and another cover of the newspapers? The treasury officially informed that, following allegations of Football Leaks, opened a case against three former players of Real Madrid (Xavi Alonso, Angel Di Maria and Ricardo Carvalho). And he said that researches other two (Fabio Coentrao and Falcao). Why are there no official reports on the case of Ronaldo, when the newspapers published the picture of the society that uses the Portuguese in the British Virgin Islands, is located on the pharmacy?
The judge of Madrid, Arturo Zamarriego banned Football Leaks continue publishing their complaints. Threatens to apply penalties of up to five years in prison. Accepted a claim of Senn Ferrero. Is the law firm that he worked for Real Madrid and claims that the documents of Football Leaks were stolen in a computer attack and that their broadcast violates "honor" and "the image" of their customers. "Who should not –be defended Ronaldo-, afraid of nothing". Mendes, who through the firm Doyen had tried to silence the court case in Portugal, published now a document of Gestifute to prove that Ronaldo, although it does not have fiscal residence in Spain, it complies with its obligations. But the document, which declares that Ronaldo has on the outside a heritage of 203 million euros, talks of 2015 and not of 2011-13, the period reported by the Football Leaks.
The filtration naked other practices "non sanctas". Suspected links between technicians and representatives to benefit from the purchase of players. Commissions unusual agent of Paul Pogba. And also shows how the stars charge "image rights" (that pays less) sometimes disguised as wages, and through companies based in tax havens, a trading encouraged by the clubs, also favored. There are mentions to players and agents argentine, from Javier Pastore to and Gonzalo Higuain from Marcelo Simonian Jorge Cysterszpiler. In addition to Jorge Prat-Gay. The brother of the minister of Finance and Public Finance chairs from five years ago Eleven, a company that represents the Kun Aguero and other players. Another officer, no less than Gustavo Arribas, director of the Federal Agency of Intelligence (AFI), is still in the business now through his son, Ezekiel, representative in Latin america of Stellar Group, the british firm that owns the Deportivo Maldonado. The club u ruguayan, according to a recent report by the daily Tiempo Argentino, is used by Stellar to make triangulations on the purchase and sale of players, as happened with the exgoleador of Boca’s Jonathan Calleri.
The football stars tend to be sanctified or demonized according to where the wind blows. Is the overprotective most of the time. But also, when the star falls from grace, the used to download on it the problems and frustrations of the country. Is the supposed citizens models. We already know that is not the case. That score goals beautiful is simply (and nothing less) than that: the ability to score goals, beautiful. It is understood that, for zafar by the court, accountable to the parent or to the agent or to the club’s eventual crime of tax evasion. But are older. So responsible before the law like any other mortal. The plot of Football Leaks demonstrated that, at least in one case, yes there was a player who resisted the trap. I speak of Martin Odergaard, a course Messi football Norwegian who Real Madrid signed in January 2015, when he was just 16 years of age. The chronicles stood out as the winner of a "casting" made from dozens of european clubs. T here was, on the one hand, the traditional agreement between clubs (Real Madrid and Stromsgodset Football). And, on the other, a second agreement between Real Madrid and Hans Erik Odegaard, the father of the child. According to Football Leaks, Real Madrid and Senn, Ferrero proposed a scheme of charging for "image rights". The father, prudently, refused to that second contract. "Anyway –he argued Odergaard father – my son will earn a lot of money, so that is also a moral issue about how much needs to be done in attempting to save a little bit of tax money, when other people struggle more to pay for yours."
