Cristiano Ronaldo has been found guilty of four counts of fraud and, after being read his rights, signed an agreement which will see him return the money he avoided paying tax on.

The sentence handed down to him was two years in prison and an 18.8 million euros fine after reaching an agreement with the tax office. He committed the offences between 2011 and 2014.

The Portuguese footballer, who now plays for Juventus, said everything had gone 'perfectly' after leaving the court house.
