meaning he is expected to avoid spending time behind bars
Barcelona star Lionel Messi has been handed a 21-month prison sentence for
tax fraud but is unlikely to serve time in prison.
Any sentence under two years can be suspended under Spanish law, meaning
Messi is expected to avoid spending a day behind bars, according to
widespread reports.
Messi, one of the world's highest-paid footballers, was tried alongside his
father, Jorge, for deceiving Spain's tax authority of 4.1m euros (£3.19m)
between 2007 and 2009.
