Sport Today

Argentina and Barcelona footballer Lionel Messi has been sentenced to 21 months in prison for tax fraud. His father, Jorge Messi, was also given a jail term for defrauding Spain of €4.1m (£3.5m; $4.5m) between 2007 and 2009. However, neither man is expected to serve time in jail. Barcelona based lawyer Martijn Bressers explains why. (Photo; Lionel Messi in court, Credit; Getty Images)
