Tax Fraud: Messi To Be Jailed For Two Years?

Authorities in Spain want Argentina and Barcelona star Lionel Messi to serve nearly two years in jail.

The five-time Ballon d’Or winner will appear in court on June 2 over tax fraud allegations . Lionel Messi and his father Jorge, have been charged with three counts of tax fraud up to €4.1million. According to EFE , the Spanish agency, Messi will testify on Thursday.

Messi reportedly tried to avoid trial on grounds that his father handled his tax payments. However, a state attorney ordered both of them to appear.

Argentina national football team will have their captain in court, three days before Copa America match against Chile on June 6.

The player has claimed he did not read critical documents before signing them as he prepares to face court over tax evasion and the state are asking that both father and son serve nearly two years in prison.

Although, the public prosecutor Raquel Amado is not prosecuting Leo Messi, just Jorge, but the defence is pushing for both to be acquitted.

Sista Movie Review

The opening scene did me in. I read somewhere that the first few 5 minutes of a movie determines if it is worth it. Trust me, Sista movie hooked me in less than 5 minutes. I loved the straight to the point opening. No show of the Third Mainland Bridge. No lazy show of Lagos traffic. Nothing. Also, the past/present sequence made crazy sense. Seeing Kehinde Bankole in that role is refreshing, it's not what she is used to, but she did well. Chimezie was quite not in character, or maybe he didn't bond with Ade Herself. I don't know. He is better than what I saw him act here. As usual Aunty Ronke Oshodi Oke gave it her all. This Tope Owokoniran babe tried with her Hausa accent. I love it!!! I think this is the best of her I have seen so far. I'd say this is a movie Aunty Biodun Stephen put her everything to make. This is a beautiful work of art. I love every piece of it. The story line is dope. Directing is flawless. The fun part was that even though It was predictable f...

Ijakumo Movie Review

Whatever this movie was set to give, it didn't give. Even the stripping is not giving. Why is the Sharon girl sex talking like she is doing spoken words??? I liked the babe in "Listening Ears", but I feel she is not 'mature' enough theatrically for this role. Wait, what I noticed was that Toyin and her crew didn't know there was a girl who looks like the Sharon girl in his church. A very crazy error that no director should make. If they had come in with this, maybe the finding out they were twin bla BLA BLA suspense would suspense well. But as the director or script writer were very myopic, the twin shii didn't hold water. If they had said or showed that they picked the Ugandan girl because she looked like the Nigerian girl in his church, e for make perfect sense. Seriously, I am miffed. The only thing that thrilled me was Kunle Remi and his lines. O mard gan. 🤣🤣🤣 "Emi mimo ni kin gbenu sohun". 🤣🤣🤣 "So, idi Uganda lo Fe baye mi j...

FLAWS AND DENTS (Fiction)

FLAWS AND DENTS "Will you marry me? " he asked, on a bent knee, a wide grin spread across his mouth. Fiona stopped sipping her margarita, her hand stuck on her straw as I gaze at him in shock. He gazed back at her , waiting earnestly for her response. She bent her head as tears welled up in her eyes. One, two they dropped and before she knew it, the floodgates opened. Her shoulders shook as the tears came cascading down her face. He quickly stood from where he knelt and rushed to her side. "Honey, why the tears? Talk to me, why are you crying? You know you can talk to me about anything? What did I do wrong? " He begged as he held her face and tried to wipe her face with his handkerchief. "Baby.... " She started as another bout of tears took over her. "Honey, these tears are killing me. I can't stand seeing you like this anymore. Please talk to me, I beg of you. " She tried to steady her whirling emotions as ...
