According to the newspaper El Mundo, the Provincial Court has once again acquitted the former soccer player, who refused to agree to a condemnation with the Treasury

TXabi Alonso and his advisers, Iván Zaldua and Ignasi Maestre would have been acquitted of charges for tax offense, according to a sentence to which the newspaper has had exclusive access The world.

The accusation by the Madrid Economic Crimes Prosecutor’s Office has been ongoing since last September 2015, and it has to do with the way in which the former player he was managing his image rights.

At that time, and after refusing to reach an agreement in accordance with the Treasury even running the risk of being sentenced to eight years in prison, they were acquitted in the first instance. The Supreme Court was appealed, who insisted on the need to explain the procedures carried out around the aforementioned image rights.

However, as the information from El Mundo explains, despite his acquittal having been confirmed, the sentence is appealable again, so the scene is back to how it was when they were acquitted for the first time, in 2019.
