...but will not serve it.

​Javier Mascherano has been given 12 months in prison by Spanish authorities after pleading guilty to tax evasion charges...but will not spend any time in jail, after working out a deal with authorities.

​Sport reports that such a deal is common in Spain for non-violent cases involving a sentence of under two years, and Mascherano will only see the inside of a jail cell if he re-offends within the next year.

One part of the punishment he couldn't get out of was the fine handed down by the court, a cool €815,000 to be paid to the Spanish authorities. The details of the deal will be confirmed in court on an as-yet undetermined date.The charges accused Mascherano of avoiding payment of tax on image rights from Nike by giving up the rights to a company in Madeira in Portugal, allowing him to avoid paying tax on them between 2011 and 2012.
Primera Division -

In addition to the €815,000 fine, Mascherano has already paid back the €1.5m which he owed in tax, plus an extra €200,000 in interest as instructed by the authorities.

What's the point? evade taxes and get caught will eventually lead to paying more money.
