Lionel Messi, Argentina

Lionel Messi was born in 1987 in Argentina.  He won the Ballon d’Or awards 7 times (highest honour in football, football year of the year), and a club-record 35 trophies at the Spanish football team Barcelona.  Lionel Messi moved to Spain at the age of 13 and quickly became a Barcelona superstar, making his debut at the age of 16 years old (4 months & 23 days) in a friendly match.  At the age of 17 years old (3 months, and 22 days old), he made his official debut (competitive game) against football team Espanyol on the 16th October 2004. 

Tax Fraud

In 2013, Lionel Messi was investigated for tax evasion, using offshore companies to evade more than €4 million in taxes.   In the Panama Papers leaked, Lionel Messi was identified and paid arrears of €5.1 million in August 2013.  In 2016, Lionel Messi & his father were found guilty of tax fraud and ordered to pay a total of €3.1 million in fines and given 21 months suspended prison sentences.  Lionel Messi: ”I just played football. I signed the contracts because I trusted my dad and the lawyers and we had decided that they would take charge of those things.”
