He’ll cost the Spanish taxpayer even more dough now.

It’s a good job that he doesn’t play for Real Madrid. Don’t they get big taxpayer bungs as well?

He won’t be going to prison.

It’s like Pistorious, the law is slightly different if you are rich and famous.

It’s like that tosser who was uninsured and managed to jump his BMW across the carriageway at Totton.

Had he known people in the right places he wouldn’t have got the 14 day ban - he’d have been given compensation by the drivers going the other way and a full apology from the police and the insurance company for wasting his time.

Good get all the bastards who do it, human sponges.

Looks like it’s not just the rich and famous in Spain

They also face millions of euros in fines for using tax havens in Belize and Uruguay used to conceal earnings from image rights.

However, they are likely to avoid jail.

Under the Spanish system, prison terms under two years can be served under probation.

Can he play football and earn a wedge whilst on probation?

He won’t go to prison, it’ll be suspended as Mashcerano’s was.
