Manny Pac had serious tax issues at home.

That little grass fairy Messi has had some issues as well.

Lionel Messi (Argentina). One of the most recognizable soccer stars in the world—despite never having won a World Cup—Messi was initially charged with tax evasion in 2013. Specifically, Spanish tax authorities alleged at the time that Messi’s father used a series of shell companies in tax havens to shield royalties and licensing income from tax. Authorities had alleged that income from lucrative contracts with companies like Pepsi-Cola, Procter & Gamble and Adidas was funneled offshore through an elaborate maze of entities so that Messi and his father could avoid paying income tax in Spain as far back as 2005 (he signed with FC Barcelona in 2001).




Messi maintained that he was innocent throughout the proceedings. Still, shortly after the charges were made public, he took steps to clear his tax debt, making a “corrective payment” of €5 million (US$6.57 million). In 2015, Spanish tax authorities ordered the footballer to stand trial.

At trial, Messi testified that “I was playing football. I had no idea about anything.” Messi also told the court that he did not actively participate in managing his finances. “I trusted my dad and my lawyers,” he explained, claiming that he did not even read documents that he signed. The court didn’t buy it, and in 2016, Messi and his father, Jorge Messi, were found guilty of tax fraud and sentenced to 21 months in prison. The length of the sentence is significant because, in Spain, those who receive a light prison sentence do not usually serve time unless the offense involves a violent crime or if the defendant is a habitual offender. Typically, a light sentence is one under two years which means that the pair would likely serve probation.

Last year, Messi appealed his case to the Spanish Supreme Court; the Court rejected the appeal, confirming Messi’s conviction on tax fraud charges. That means his original punishment stands

Wesley Snipes was straight up fraud, and it was an egregious case.

You don't go to jail for fucking up your taxes you go to jail for knowingly committing tax fraud.
