A decade ago during his first spell at Bernabeau, a charge related to the payment of image rights, which tax officials argue that foreign shells were hidden in companies. The complainants have requested four years and nine months of prison time, as well as if Entiotti is found guilty.
Ancelotti has argued that, mainly related to a certain salary, when he considered it “quite normal” Madric Offer to pay 15% from image rights. He said that there was also a case for players and former coach Jose Morinho-his predecessor was sentenced to one-year suspended jail and sentenced to 2 2.2 million in 2019 after confession of tax fraud.

The 65 -year -old told the court, “I have never been tortured about the right to image. I was harassed to be a net of M 6 million for just three years and I never realized that something was not right and I had no instruction that my investigation was underway by the lawyers.”
