So, Carlo Ancelotti likely won’t have to go behind bars.
Prosecutors claim he shirked more than £833,000 in taxes—allegations he refutes even while acknowledging he underpaid.
During his 2013–15 run at Real Madrid, Ancelotti steered the team to the 2014 Champions League crown.
He then took charge at Bayern Munich, Napoli and Everton before heading back to Madrid in 2021.
Earlier this year, he departed Santiago Bernabéu to become Brazil’s national team boss.
