Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Why would she end up in jail ( I feel like I missed something )?

[–] Son_of_dad@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago (1 children)

She recently went on trial in Spain and reached a plea deal to avoid prison. She was charged with tax evasion and all sorts of fraud. She survived the case, but who knows if this happened other times and in other countries, so she really needs to get her house in order

Spain has weird laws for tax evasion which is why you see accused celebrities (Ronaldo, Messi etc) from time to time. Besides I don't think it's the VIP who are calling the shots on their accounting. They probably just tell their account firm to do their job and it does badly and the celebrity gets caught up in the whole thing which makes the headlines.

Accountants don't do tax evasion. Tax lawyers do.

No, rich people avoid taxes, that's why you see them from time to time.
