The agency will examine whether Piqué’s company is paying taxes related to the the SuperCopa.

Piqué investigated for tax evasion in Spain?

Karma could be coming for Gerard Piqué, Barcelona’s iconic former footballer.

The shadow of the Spanish Treaury looms over him, carefully examining the ins and outs of his financial transactions.

According to the Spanish press, it is expected that an investigation will be carried out against the athlete’s company.

They are looking into whether his company Kosmos is paying all the taxes it owes.

What is known about the possible investigation?

According to El Mundo the investigation seeks to determine whether Piqué’s company avoided paying value added tax (VAT).

This means that it must record the income generated by its participation in promoting the SuperCopa outside Spanish territory.

The tax agency seeks to determine whether Piqué declared his company’s income correctly.

Furthermore, the investigation is not limited only to Spain. The Treasury’s focus expands to other countries.

What is the Spanish Treasury looking for?

The main focus is on determining whether the fees paid by Saudi Arabia to Piqué comply with a direct order from the Real Federación Española de Fútbol (RFEF).

This is relevant, because they must review the services that, ultimately, were carried out in Spain, according to El Mundo.

If so, this income would be subject to taxation, meaning the Spanish Treasury is owed over $900,000 for each edition.

The agency is investigating because it says the relationship between the RFEF and Kosmos was kept secret.

What have they found?

This finding adds an additional layer of complexity to Piqué’s situation, suggesting possible irregularities in the management of agreements and transactions.

El Mundo also highlights that this scrutiny into his taxes occurs at a time when Piqué is already facing a series of challenges in his personal life.

The situation is further complicated by this rumored investigation.

In addition, Shakira’s lawyer, Pau Molins, recently suggested that the her relationship with Piqué has been costly for her.

What happened to Shakira’s tax evasion case?

This turn of events takes on greater relevance in the context of the Shakira’s recent conviction for tax fraud.

Piqué’s ex, known for her international music career, pleaded guilty to tax evasion and was punished with a significant fine.

According to the agreement, Shakira will receive a suspended trial for three years and will pay a fine of $8 million, according to the Associated Press.

The trial, which was expected to include more than 100 witnesses over several weeks, was called off after just eight minutes, the AP noted.
