Carlo Ancelotti, Real Madrid coach, will be tried for a tax offense in the coming weeks. Judge María Inmaculada Lova Ruiz has ended her investigation against the Italian coach and maintains in her allegation that she hid her image rights from the Treasury during her first season as Madrid coach.

As reported by 'El Mundo' on Tuesday, Carletto is accused of defrauding close to 400,000 euros in 2014. What Ancelotti did state correctly was his salary for that first season of contract, 2013-14, which reached 5, 8 million euros. But the rights to his image do not add up and that is what he must declare before the court.

'El Mundo' reveals that the Italian coach himself has acknowledged the facts, alleging that he was "badly advised" at the time by his tax advisers, "for which reason the trial that will be held soon will close with an agreement in which the coach will accept a prison sentence that does not imply compliance with the payment of the defrauded quota and the corresponding sanction".

He was pardoned for an alleged second offense

However, the judge exonerates Carlo Ancelotti of a second tax offense that the Treasury attributed to him until now, that of 2015, and does so with harsh reproaches to the tax inspectorate. The Italian coach had already denied the accusations corresponding to that year, the year in which he ceased to be a Real Madrid coach.
