Mourinho in tax fraud net

SPANISH prosecutors said yesterday they had filed a claim against Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho on two counts of tax fraud dating back to when he coached Real Madrid.

The Portuguese manager owes Spanish tax authorities 3.3 million euros (US$3.7 million), a Madrid prosecutor said in a statement.

Mourinho, 54, left Real in 2013 to manage English club Chelsea for a second spell before signing with United in 2016.

Prosecutors said he had failed to declare revenues from his image rights in his Spanish income tax declarations from 2011 and 2012, “with the aim of obtaining illicit profits”.

They said Mourinho had already settled a previous claim relating to his Spanish taxes, which yielded a penalty of 1.15 million euros in 2014. But tax authorities later found that some of the information presented in that settlement was incorrect.
