Is it an actual jail sentence or suspended etc..

From BBC...

Under Spanish law, a prison sentence under two years can be served under probation, meaning Lionel Messi and his father are unlikely to go to jail.

The sentences can also be appealed through the Spanish supreme court.

So pointless. Every tax fraud must be moving to Spain.

This is bang out of order, we were just waiting for sentencing before announcing Messi as our new striker ffs, oh well Murray and Hemed it is then
 


But as sentence is under 24 months he will not actually spend any time inside

Well quite, but it will always be on his record so when his football career is over any future employer will see it.

Poor sod may never get employment again.
