Barcelona's star, Leo Messi, can breathe a little more relaxed about his problems with the tax authorities in Spain. Today he was acquitted in one of the cases of financial fraud against him.
It is for undeclared profit of 300 thousand dollars of his charity tours in 2012 and 2013, which took place in Peru and the United States. According to the charges, he was involved in a scheme with a Mexican drug cartel, who was picked up and laundered money.
This, however, was categorically proven in court, that is not true. Only the organizers of those games have paid way and he to participate in fights, but this is not any violation, according to the Spanish laws.
Messi is still being investigated for tax evasion between 2007 and 2009, If the Prosecutor's allegations are proven, the Argentinian and his father were threatened by nearly two years in prison.
