Real Madrid superstar Cristiano Ronaldo denied through his representatives on Tuesday ever hiding any income from the taxman or committing any tax fraud in Spain, hours after a tax fraud lawsuit was filed against him in Madrid.
"There is no tax evasion scheme ... There has never been any hiding nor any intention to hide anything," Gestifute, the agency representing the Real Madrid player, said in a statement.
The prosecutor's office in Madrid filed a suit against Ronaldo for allegedly defrauding Spanish tax authorities of 14.7 million euros ($16.5 million) between 2011 and 2014.
Meanwhile, Real Madrid says it believes Ronaldo is 'innocent' after a Spanish state prosecutor accused him of defrauding the country's tax office of 14.7 million euros ($16.5 million).
The club issued a statement saying "Real Madrid expresses its complete confidence in our player Cristiano Ronaldo, who we understand has acted within the law as far as complying with his fiscal obligations."
It adds it is convinced Ronaldo "will demonstrate his complete innocence."
