Barcelona
and Argentina football star, Lionel Messi who appeared in court this morning on
trial for alleged tax fraud in Spain, has told a court he had no involvement in
the management of his financial affairs.
Wearing
a dark suit and tie, Messi sat alongside his father in front of the judge and
listened to other testimony for nearly four hours before being called to
testify. He said,
"I
was playing football, I knew nothing."
The
28-year old said he signed documents without reading them because he trusted
his father and the advisers responsible for managing his finances.
Spain's
tax agency is demanding heavy fines and prison sentences. The trial began on
Tuesday, and Thursday is expected to be the final day. The judges’ decisions
would be announced next week. Like we earlier said, we wish him all the best.
