La Fiscalía acepta sustituir la condena a 21 meses a Messi por una multa
Por defraudar 4,1 millones de euros.
La Fiscalía acepta sustituir por una multa la condena a 21 meses de cárcel que la Audiencia de Barcelona impuso al futbolista Lionel Messi por defraudar 4,1 millones de euros ni a que se le suspenda la entrada en prisión, por carecer de antecedentes penales.
Según han informado a Efe fuentes jurídicas, la Fiscalía se ha mostrado favorable a la suspensión de la pena de prisión de Messi y su padre en un escrito que presentó ayer ante la sección octava de la Audiencia de Barcelona, que los condenó a 21 meses de cárcel por un fraude de 4,1 millones en los ejercicios de 2007, 2008 y 2009.
