For Ed002, if time allows.
In the past year there have been a number of high profile figures prosecuted in Spain for cases of tax evasion. Is this widespread in the game and why is it happening? Is it because of the high tax level for the high earners in LaLiga and players trying to keep hold of more money. Appreciate any info you have.

{Ed002's Note - There have been numerous cases of tax evasion in Spain and in Italy resulting in prosecution. In England there have been tax avoidance schemes - typically linked to such things as image rights - that have been outlawed and clubs and players were given time to reach an agreement with the authorities and pay up - and there are no residual issues that are open any longer as far as I know. There have been others cases that have resulted in certain creative approaches also being outlawed - one PL side paying some players in oil paintings and cards, and one where a number of players were residents of Monaco.}
