"Barcelona" defender Gerard Pique, like other celebrities, failed to triumph in the tax evasion case. When the Madrid court announced it, the 32-year-old Catalan will need to transfer 2.1 million euros to the state budget. It is claimed that the player avoided obligations in 2008-2010 and joined the society of celebrities behaving similarly (L. Messi, C. Ronaldo, J. Mourinho, etc.). 1.5 million euros will be allocated to taxes, and 600 thousand euros - fine for attempting fraud. G. Pique's partner Shakira will have to shake the purse much more and transfer 14.5 million euros to Spanish institutions."
