And yeah I dont know how culture works everywhere else but having your dad do that for someone like Messi who has had his affairs managed all his life is not unusual. Then again ignorance is not really a good defense. And this frankly applies to athletes everywhere. Its your money learn to use it. | ||

This still means Messi is in trial and not his accountants, correct? | ||

I'm not an expert but if you have qualified financial advisors managing your wealth and you do not order them to do something illegal then if something fishy indeed happens your liability is limited. If you do hire these people they should strongly advise you against illegal tax evasion. | ||

Not the lawyers. You could have a POA for the lawyers but its still your liability. You can later go on and sue your own advisers separately but thats not the tax collectors problem. Also qualified financial experts is a very loose term. | ||

Messi is not illiterate, so I dont see the need to get into those hypothetical. If you are not literate you wont be signing it anyway. Dont get me wrong, the prosecutor was being a complete Asshole because the exection of this case is inconsistent with their behaviour before, especially when Madrid players have been caught doing it. But the law is the law. What they really should do is pressure everyone else that is doing the same thing. Its rather obvious that Messi is getting boned because of political faggery. Everyone else who did it just payed the fine and back taxes and done. In Messis case they kept trying to bone him till he said enough is enough and it went to court so he could take the slap on the wrist and a criminal record. | ||

Also qualified financial experts is a very loose term. I assume it depends on the country but in Portugal, which I assume is similar to Spain, if you earn that much you will have a certified accounting firm signing off on your shit and providing fiscal advice. You'll also have lawyers. If you don't instruct these people to engage in illegal fuckery and they do then I believe they're the ones mostly liable. If you are their client and decide yourself that you want to engage in fuckery then any such firm worth their salt should strongly advise against and/or remove themselves from the equation. Or maybe I just understand the world wrong. | ||

Or maybe I just understand the world wrong. There are plenty of firms that will advise you to engage in fuckery and you could know it or you couldnt. Its very likely his Dad is guilty possibly and may have known about the consequences and brushd it off as an "everybody does it" sort of way. But no firm with their salt will engage if fucker advised or otherwise and take the laibility either. The onus is still on the person being advised to ensure they are being advised properly. Bottom line is he didnt file that shit himself so someone knew he was doing it wrong, instructed or otherwise doesnt matter. He is still liable. | ||

Am I right to interpret this as that Messi has 2 options: 1) pay the fine, 2) go to jail As income tax (and most tax for that matter) is often voluntarily declared by tax payer (the tax authority will only come in when there's doubt), this will only encourage people from evading tax as much as they can until they get caught. Also the investigation process usually takes up a lot of time and money. The Messi situation is very debatable and each side is right in its own way. Personally I don't think Messi should go to jail (lol), his dad definitely deserves it though. | ||
