Ronaldo, Jose in tax claims

MANCHESTER United manager Jose Mourinho and Real Madrid superstar Cristiano Ronaldo on Saturday denied hiding millions of euros in offshore accounts in a effort to avoid the tax man.

An international consortium of media organizations claimed that a huge data leak showed Portuguese skipper Ronaldo hid 150 million euros from image rights in a British Virgin Islands tax havens. Mourinho is said to have concealed 12 million euros in a Swiss account owned by a British Virgin Islands company.

But Gestifute, a firm representing the two men, said, “One newspaper makes the unfounded allegation that Gestifute, its clients and its advisers of having, directly or indirectly, created, organized or designed tax structures to facilitate tax evasion using tax havens... Both Ronaldo and Mourinho are fully compliant with their tax obligations with the Spanish and British tax authorities.”
