Mourinho handed one-year suspended prison sentence and €2m fine in tax evasion case

The former Real Madrid boss was accused of defrauding Spain's Tax Office of €3.3m (£2.9m/$3.8m) in 2011 and 2012

Jose Mourinho has accepted a one-year suspended jail sentence after being accused of defrauding the Spanish Tax Office of €3.3million (£2.9m) of earnings while in charge at Real Madrid.

The Manchester United boss, who spent three years in the Spanish capital, was accused of using offshore company accounts in Ireland, the British Virgin Islands and New Zealand to conceal income from image rights in 2011.

Spanish news outlet El Mundo claims Mourinho reached a deal with tax authorities, with two six-month suspended prison sentences.
