The Real Madrid superstar stands accused of owing as much as £13million, with Spanish prosecutors basing the case on four accounts of alleged fraud between 2011 and 2014.
But Ronaldo, 32, appeared fully focused while training with Portugal today and later took to Instagram to post a picture with his finger to his lips.
Speaking yesterday at a ceremony for the national team, held in honour of coach Fernando Santos, Ronaldo ceased the opportunity to say his mind on the issue.
When asked by a reporter about the lawsuits, Ronaldo said: "I have a clear conscience."
Real Madrid also offered their full support to the Portuguese superstar, who is already a Legend at the Club.
A club statement said: "Real Madrid have full confidence in Cristiano Ronaldo, who we understand has acted in accordance with legality regarding the fulfilment of his fiscal obligations.
"Since his arrival in July 2009, he has always shown a clear will to fulfil all his tax obligations.
"Real Madrid are absolutely convinced that our player will prove his total innocence in this process.
"We hope that justice is done as quickly as possible so that his innocence can be proven as soon as possible."
