Manchester United manager and former Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho has been accused of tax fraud worth 3.3 million euros (£2.9 million) by a Spanish state prosecutor.
In a statement, the state prosecutor said Mourinho committed two counts of tax fraud in 2011 and 2012.
It will now be up to a judge to decide whether to take the matter to court.
The accusation against Mourinho comes a week after the Madrid-based prosecutor’s office accused Real Madrid forward Cristiano Ronaldo of defrauding Spain’s tax office of 14.7 million euros (£12.9 million).
Ronaldo has denied any wrongdoing.
