[Saba Sports News] According to Spanish media reports, James Rodríguez has won his lawsuit against the Spanish Tax Agency, which is now required to refund the player a large sum of money. Reports state that the Colombian footballer James Rodríguez was accused of tax evasion during his time at Real Madrid in 2014. The 34-year-old Colombian player left Real Madrid long ago and currently plays for Minnesota United FC, yet he still had an ongoing legal dispute in Spain. He has prevailed in his judicial lawsuit against the Spanish Public Tax Agency, which stemmed from a tax penalty imposed on him in 2014. The tax authority must now refund him €3 million. The Colombian player was ultimately found not guilty of any tax crime, and as a result, the public tax authorities are required to provide him with financial compensation.
The editor believes that the origin of this legal dispute dates back to 2014, the highlight of James Rodríguez’s career. Following his stunning performances at the FIFA World Cup in Brazil, he transferred from AS Monaco to Real Madrid. However, the Spanish tax authorities later targeted him, accusing him of tax evasion in the 2014 fiscal year.
