If he’s in Brazil they might not get him back. They havn’t got a great record for helping extradite wanted criminals and fugitives.

Under 2 year sentence and not for a violent offence = No Jail time for Don Carlo

Spanish law often suspends prison sentences under two years for first-time, non-violent offenders.

Didn't Messi and his father get away without going to jail for tax evasion?

Spain needed some tax revenue. They went after all the big earners, in football. Ronaldo and Messi, not least.
They pay and everyone happy. I assume Ancelotti decided not to pay, hence the sentence.
Image rights for Carlo?????

No an error on my part sorry!
Same seems to apply here for under a year sentences.

I was correcting your comments.
I never said all was well - very clearly it wasn’t.

All is well if he paid it and is not going to jail.
