Breaking: Mourinho in trouble for Tax fraud during his time at Real Madrid

Jose Mourinho, Manager Manchester United

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has been accused of tax fraud during his time as head coach of Real Madrid.

Prosecutors have circled on the Mourinho relating to his three year spell at the Bernabeu between 2010 and 2013.

He is accused of defrauding Spain of €3.3million (£2.9m) in taxes.

The claim lists two counts of evasion – one in 2011 and again the following year.

The Portuguese tactician becomes the latest football personality to become embroiled in tax allegations in Spain.

Cristiano Ronaldo was recently put under the spotlight by authorities, leading to the Ballon d’Or holder wanting to quit Real Madrid.

Prosecutors said he had failed to declare revenue from his image rights in his Spanish income tax declarations from 2011 and 2012, 'with the aim of obtaining illicit profits'.

They said Mourinho had already settled a previous claim relating to his Spanish taxes, which resulted in a penalty of £1m (€1.15m) in 2014. But tax authorities later found that some of the information presented in that settlement was incorrect, the prosecutors said.
