He can do what he wants as far as I'm concerned.

Send him straight to prison. overrated tripe.

If true he should do time for it imo, best player in the world or not. I'm not rich and pay mine.

Doubt it's intentional, will probably be the clubs fault if true. Slap wrist and pay the outstanding balance

Shame he doesnt play for Real - that would have been swept neatly under the carpet

Good player or not, if he broke the law he should be punished.

Yes.

JUST IN: Messi and his father find an agreement with tax authority: they will pay 15m € for the tax fraud allegations.

They will find that sort of loose change down the back of the settee.

From what I heard it was just a misundderstanding rather than Messi attempting to break any laws, I think that's why he was so quick to pay it back, haven't read anything on it though

Presumably it's always a misunderstanding when the rich and famous evade tax.

Evade or avoid?

If you evade tax you deserve everything you get. Avoidance is a much different issue.
