Arsenal striker, Alexis Sanchez is alleged to have withheld a mouthwatering £900k in tax. The Chilean spent three years at Barcelona before joining Arsenal, and Spain's Inland Revenue claim that the tax issues have arisen from Sanchez's time in Camp Nou.
It is reported that the public prosecutor in Barcelona is opening an investigation into the
Gunners star.
The Chilean is accused of attempting to defraud the Inland Revenue of €983,443 (£888,736) during his time at Barcelona.
According to El Periodico, the Catalan newspaper, Sanchez is being accused of "actively withholding" taxes, with relation to his image rights.
Prosecutor Miguel Angel Perez de Gregorio has revealed Alexis failed to include income from the transfer of his image rights in both 2012 and 2013.
Instead, he is accused of "simulating the transfer of those rights" to an offshore company based in Malta, Numidia Trading.
The allegation is that the Chilean have failed to declare €587,677 in 2012 and €395,766 in 2013, without including details of the company in his declaration.
