On May 24, according to Spain's "world sports news", Messi and his father Jorge's appeal on tax evasion has been rejected, after the two have been sentenced to 21 months in prison, but Messi will not be jailed.
Messi's case has a long history. As early as 2013, the Barcelona district court charged Messi and his father with tax evasion. Later, Messi paid 5 million euros in taxes after the charges, but the Spanish prosecutor's office is still pursuing the case.
In July last year, Messi and his father Jorge were sentenced to 21 months in prison, and then they chose to appeal on April 20, but they were finally rejected by the Spanish Supreme Court.
However, the Spanish Supreme Court also reduced the sentence of Messi's father from 21 months to 15 months. In addition, Messi had a fine of 2 million euros, while Jorge had a fine of 1.5 million euros. Under Spanish law, first-time offenders who have been imprisoned for less than 24 months will not have to go to jail.
