Cristiano Ronaldo is due to appear in a Madrid court on Monday (July 31) to testify on in a case in which he is accused of hiding income from Spanish tax authorities.

The Spanish prosecutor says the Real Madrid forward knowingly used a business structure to hide his image rights income in Spain between 2011 and 2014. Ronaldo has denied the charges.

“There is no tax evasion scheme … There has never been any hiding nor any intention to hide anything,” Gestifute, the agency representing the Portuguese player, said in a statement.
