Could Ancelotti end up behind bars? Details of the sensational news from Spain
It seemed that Real Madrid's head coach Carlo Ancelotti had no legal issues. However, it turns out that the Italian could be facing a very real sentence.
Details: According to As, the Madrid prosecutor's office is requesting a four-year and nine-month prison sentence for Ancelotti on suspicion of "defrauding the state treasury" of over one million euros in 2014 and 2015. In addition to imprisonment, the prosecution is demanding a fine of four million euros from the Italian.
It is believed that Ancelotti failed to declare income related to the use of his image rights, which he allegedly falsely claimed to have transferred to other organizations. The trial is set to take place next Wednesday, April 2.
Reminder: Previously, the Italian coach was linked with a potential job with the Brazilian national team, and he addressed these rumors.
