Once the Head Coach of Spanish football team Real Madrid and now of UK based Manchester United, Jose Mourinho has been accused of tax evasion fraud by Spanish authorities.

The accusations are in relation to his time as head coach at Real Madrid, where he allegedly defrauded Spain of €3.3m (£2.9m; $3.6m) in tax payments between 2011 and 2012.

According to the BBC, a prosecutor said he did not declare income from the use of his image rights in order to get an "illicit benefit".

There appears to have been quite a crackdown on tax fraud in Spain recently, as Portuguese champion Cristiano Ronaldo is also being charged with the same. He has been summoned to testify on 31st July in a case which accuses him of evading €14.7m (£12.9m) in tax through offshore companies between 2011 and 2014, yet he denies the allegations and threatens to leave Spain.
