Former Barcelona striker Samuel Eto’o has been spared a jail sentence after receiving a 22-month suspended sentence for fraud.

At relation to a failure to register revenue from his image rights between 2006 and 2009, the ex-Cameroon international pled guilty to tax charges in Barcelona Criminal Court for little under €3.9 million (£3.3m/$4.1m).

Eto’o has been forced to pay four fines totaling €1.8 million (£1.6 million/$1.9 million), although he has escaped an immediate prison sentence due to his prior clean record and the fact that he has already repaid some of the fraudulent funds.

What did Eto’o have to say about his acquittal?

The former attacker, who won the Champions League four times with three different clubs and had a spectacular career.

During his time in Spain, Italy, England, and Turkey, he accepted the charges while claiming that his old advisor Jose Maria Mesalles had mislead him, and that he had filed a second action against him.

Eto’o claims that the manipulation of his funds, which saw the player’s image rights between Puma and Barcelona go undeclared through the use of two external firms in Hungary and Spain, was at the suggestion of the latter, whom he previously characterized as a “father figure.”

“I recognize the facts and I will pay,” the 41-year-old said in court, “but let it be known that I was a child at the time and that I always did what my father wanted me to do.” the 41-year-old read in a statement in court, per Sport.

“I recognize the facts and I will pay,” the 41-year-old said in court, “but let it be known that I was a child at the time and that I always did what my father wanted me to do.”

Is there anyone else who has been charged?

Eto’o isn’t the only one who has been charged and pleaded guilty; Mesalles was also given a year’s suspended sentence for his role in the scheme.

The Black Stars were eliminated from the 2022 football Mundial after losing by 2 -O to Uruguay in their final match of the group stages. The Black Stars team was together in group H with Portugal, South Korea and Uruguay. The Stars had then managed to pick up 3 points in two games , losing narrowly to Portugal before dispatching South Korea 3-2 in the Second game.

The Black Stars then needed a win or a draw to automatically ticket them to the round of 16. Prior to the match, Joseph Matthew who is noted with the hit song ‘Blessed’, cautioned the Ghanaian team to remain disciplined and focused till the end of the game.
According to the ‘Blessed’ hitmaker, the Stars will lose to Uruguay if they play like how they did in their first two games. In a post on his social media pages, Joseph Matthew said:

“WE MUST KEEP OUR DISCIPLINE!
The truth of the whole matter is, Ghana will lose this game if we go in as we did our last 2 games. We must keep our composure and discipline throughout! We have not done this in our first 2 games, but this must change ASAP if we are to have any real success in this competition.

Suarez is not our problem. We lack discipline and composure. That has to change in this game period! Big up @blackstarsofghana_ we have more than enough quality to win this one, but we must keep the DISCIPLINE AND COMPOSURE FOR 90 MINUTES!!”.

In vindication to what he said, the Black Stars lost the game. Although the Stars were awarded a penalty by the referee, unfortunately, Captain Dede Ayew who volunteered to take the penalty had it saved by the Uruguay goalkeeper who went in the right direction to deny Ghana a goal.

Giorgian de Arrascaeta’s two goals for Uruguay were also not enough to take them through to the next round of the tournament as together with the Black Stars were eliminated from this year’s world cup.

Below is Joseph Matthew’s post.

The Ghana Blackstars team has since their exit received great backlashes from Ghanaians and fans of the team. Many are those who believe the coach of the team, Otto Addo should be blamed.
