Samuel Eto'o faces 10-year prison sentence and £12million fine

 
Cameroonian footballer, Samuel Eto’o has been accused of tax fraud in Spain.
El Pais reports that he defrauded Spanish tax authority of almost £3million from 2006 to 2009 during his spell at Barcelona. If found guilty, he could face at least 10 years in prison.
Eto’o allegedly  ran two companies — Bulte 2002 in Spain and Tradesport in Hungary — and this allowed him to transfer his image rights between the two and avoid pay of tax.

Spanish prosecutors are not only seeking a prison term for the ex Chelsea forward, they are also demanding a fine of $15.1 million (£12million) for the four counts of tax fraud.

Antalyaspor lift Samuel Eto'o suspension

Prominent Cameroon footballer, Samuel Eto’o has been recalled by Turkish club Antalyaspor following his suspension after making racial comments on social media.
Several days ago, the 35 year-old  wrote on his Instagram account: “Perhaps some people do not feel respect for me because I am black.”

Although he didn’t specify the target of   his criticism, the post was believed to have been aimed at Antalyaspor chairman Ali Safak Ozturk who criticised Eto’o for his performances earlier this season.

The former Barcelona player have however been forgiven. Ozturk said he was recalled after expressing regret for the remarks. The former Chelsea player was included in the side to face Galatasaray in Istanbul on Sunday. He came in as a substitute in the 29th minute.
