The former Osasuna rulers will not be tried for VAT fraud
- The agreement reached by the football team with the prosecutor’s office and the Finance of Navarra has been ratified: The club will have to pay a fine of EUR 1.4 million, and in 45 months it will receive neither financial aid nor a tax incentive from the club.
On Monday, eight members of the Osasuna Board of Directors and two former workers were scheduled to be tried before the Navarra Hearing for tax fraud committed between 2010-13 in relation to VAT. The club rojiblanco left EUR 5.4 million unpaid as a default by the club. However, the trial has been suspended, as all parties have ratified the agreement reached last week at the National Hearing.
Fine of EUR 1.4 million
At first it seemed that the club could receive a higher fine, but as the crime has been declared, it has collaborated with the justice system and promised that it will take steps to ensure that this does not happen again, according to the prosecution, will eventually be EUR 1.4 million. In addition, the club had already paid Hacienda EUR 6.8 million for Osasuna’s delayed sovereign debt.
They won't go to jail.
The eight former managers have been sentenced to between 16 and 28 months ' imprisonment, but will not be placed in prison, as they have been relieved to seek relief from the pain and the time it has taken to start the trial.
Former President Miguel Archanco, former Manager Ángel Vizcay and former Directors José Manuel Puros and Juan Antonio Pascual have accepted a sentence of 28 months in prison, former President Patxi Izco, 22 months old, and Sancho Bandrés, Txuma Peralta and Manolo Ganuza, 16 months old. Former workers Tomás López and José Gómez have been acquitted for a crime of attempted murder.
