Bundesliga, Bayer Leverkusen, Xabi Alonso
[Saba Sports News] Recent updates from Spanish media
suggest that the Spanish Supreme Court is soon expected to deliver a final
verdict on the tax evasion case involving Xabi Alonso, the Spanish football
legend and current coach of Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga. It is highly
likely that Alonso will be acquitted of any wrongdoing. The case revolves
around allegations that Alonso evaded 2 million euros in taxes by transferring
his image rights to a Portuguese company between 2010 and 2012. The case has
already undergone trials in the Spanish District Court and the Madrid High
Court, both of which found Alonso not guilty. The judges in these courts deemed
the process of transferring his image rights to be lawful. However, the
prosecutor contested these outcomes and decided to bring the case before the
Spanish Supreme Court, leading to the ongoing appeal.
