Real Madrid football club striker and Portuguese national football team forward Cristiano Ronaldo may be fined 30 million euros ($35.3 million) for tax evasion, As media outlet reported on Sunday, citing the Spanish Treasury.
According to the outlet, if the football player loses the trial, he will have to pay at least 30 million euros in total, together with interest, despite his refusal to admit any tax evasion allegations during the court hearing in July, when he claimed he had never concealed his income.
Ronaldo is accused of defrauding the Spanish Treasury of 14.7 million euros in taxes from 2011 to 2014, with the court hearing on the case set for December 22.
The Real Madrid star has already tried to placate by the Spanish authorities with paying €6 million ($6.7 million) after they opened an investigation into alleged tax evasion based on an expose by Football Leaks, a journalistic consortium.
