Er.. What?

According to reddit, if you're sentenced less than 2 years in Spain, you don't actually serve it or some nonsense.

:D

Surely his father should have just taken that bid for the both of them if he hasnt done so already.

Typical rich/poor double standard. If someone steals a TV they would be in for longer. I say we lynch the cunt.

[Pleb]

That's amazing :D

[Bernanke]

Too big to jail!!!

That's retarded.

Stolen from SSN "under Spanish law a prison sentence under two years for a first-time non-violent crime can be served on probation, meaning they are unlikely to serve any time."

[Disco]

Short sentences are served on probation rather than custodially.

[Manc]

Irrelevant then.

[Davgooner]

Shame. The seethe from Barca would have been fucking lol.

Seems pretty sensible, to be honest.

Agreed. We should do the same.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Surely it's cheaper to shoot them and burn the body.

[Pepe]

:nodd:

[elth]

You'd generally get only an extremely short prison sentence at worst for a first time, non-violent, low sentence white collar crime in most developed countries.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Non-violent? Think how many babies have died because of Spanish health under-funding caused by Messi withholding his tax money. He's a mass murderer.

[GS]

It's not just here, Jimmy. If they closed these loopholes and tapped into the tax avoidance pit of gold, they could afford to buy Gibraltar and we could reinvest the money in our NHS.

Oh my. :D

The only way that could be worse is if #justice was used.

[Disco]

We condone crime!

[Reg]

Jesus.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Stunning.

Liverpool have been outdone.

[Shindig]

Spain's still financially crocked, right?

[Max Power]

Jesus, that is truly mes que un PR gaffe

[Raoul Duke]

Are they saying they're all tax evaders?

[Ian]

Hating the lot of them just became even easier.

[Giggles]

That Liverpool stunt the club pulled yesterday was such lol. Twats.
