Messi is sentenced to 21months jail time

Messi is sentenced 21 months in Spanish jail, for invading tax.
Although messi who recently retired from international football, insists he knows nothing about his finances, which his father manages. The court did not find his statement credible enough to acquit him. His father on the other hand insist he himself was not aware of the fraud amounting to over 3million euros.

Good News is neither of them will actually go to jail as they are not sentenced for over 2years. They will both be on probation.
