Lionel Messi could avoid prosecution and a possible jail sentence over tax fraud
allegations if he strikes a deal with Spain’s tax office and pays a fine of up
to €24 million (£20m), judicial sources have said.
The Barcelona star, voted Fifa's World
Player of the Year for the last four years running, and his father Jorge Horaco
Messi are jointly accused of filing fraudulent tax returns during 2007 to 2009.
