[font=proxima-regular1, roboto, arial, sans-serif]The court also sentenced the Argentine soccer player's father, Jorge, to 21 months in prison for the same three crimes. The sentence can be appealed through the Spanish Supreme Court, the statement said.[/font]

[font=proxima-regular1, roboto, arial, sans-serif]However, under Spanish law a prison sentence under two years can be served under probation, meaning Messi and his father are unlikely to go to jail.[/font]

How come? It's nothing to play with his carrier. And according to Spanish law any sentence below 2 years can be ignored. Only financial implication might happen and btw 2 million euro is never a problem for Leo
