Barcelona player sentenced to 12 months in prison.

Barcelona defender, Javier Mascherano has been sentenced to 12 months
of jail term after pleading guilty in tax
fraud case. He was also fined €815,000. The former Liverpool player was
charged with two counts of tax frauds, €600,000 in 2011 and more than €968,000
in 2012.  

Fortunately for the 31-year-old, he will not serve the sentence
because the case is a non-violent one. Normally, Spanish courts generally do
not ask the accused to serve the sentence if the case is non-violent and the
jail-time needed to be served is less than two years but he will face the jail
if he commits the offence again in the next 1 year.
