Barcelona striker, Lionel Messi, has been found guilty of committing three tax offences.  It was found that tax rules were breached in 2007, 2008 and 2009.  He also failed to declare around £8.7m in image rights.  For this, he has been sentenced to 21 months in prison.


However, as Spanish law denotes that any sentence under two years can be served as probation, Messi is unlikely to spend any time in jail.
