The 29-year-old has been fined $728,883 and will also repay the money to the authorities. He will, however, avoid a jail sentence if he does not commit a crime in the next two years.

The Chilean had set up a Maltese company called Numidia Trading in a tax avoidance scheme to stop paying on his image rights deals between 2012 and 2013.
The former Barcelona star was represented in court by the same lawyer who defended his former teammate Javier Mascherano on similar charges.
