Prosecutors in Spain have accused Real Madrid footballer, Cristiano Ronaldo of defrauding the country of millions of Euros in tax.
The prosecutors authorities in Madrid said it has filed a lawsuit against the Portuguese sensational player.
He is accused of evading tax of 14.7m Euros (£13m; $16m) from 2011 to 2014.
Ronaldo had previously said he was not worried about tax investigations, as he had nothing to hide.
On this occasion he is accused of knowingly using a “business structure” to hide income made from his image rights.
In December, leaked documents suggested that Ronaldo had avoided tax on income allegedly held in offshore accounts. He denied the allegations.
When asked about that investigation, he told a journalist from Radio Television Portuguesa (RTP) “Quien no debe no teme”, which roughly translates as “He who has nothing to hide has no fear.”
Ronaldo is the world’s highest-paid sportsperson for the second successive year, according to Forbes’ annual list of the world’s wealthiest people.
He earned $93m (£72.05m) from salary, bonuses and endorsements last year.
