Lionel Messi’s three-year tax fraud ordeal came to a close on Wednesday as the FC Barcelona frontman was convicted for evading taxes and received a 21-month suspended sentence. Under Spain’s laws, Messi does not have to serve any actual jail time though:
"Because of how the legal system in Spain works, any prison sentence under a two-year term for a first-time offender is automatically suspended with the convicted party being placed on probation. Thus, Messi is not in danger of being locked up or missing any time on the pitch for his club, Barcelona. In addition to the sentence, Lionel and Jorge will have to pay €2 million and €1.5 million fines, respectively. This on top of the back taxes and interest on those that Messi has already repaid to the Spanish IRS."
