Legend Samuel Eto'o faces upto 10 years and a half in jail for tax fraud

Samuel Eto'o has been accused of tax fraud and could face up to 10 years and a half in jail, according to reports. As well as the long prison term, prosecutors are demanding he be fined around £12m.
Report says that he owes almost £3million in tax from 2006 to 2009, while he was at the Nou Camp.

Eto’o is accused of getting around tax through a complicated and illegal image rights structure. He ran two companies — Bulte 2002 in Spain and Tradesport in Hungary — and this allowed him to transfer his image rights between the two and avoid having to pay tax. While he also received around £2m-a-year from Puma.
