Ramos fined by Treasury, but he claims he is up to date with tax payments Real Madrid Has paid half of one-million-euro fine

The Spanish treasury has hit Sergio Ramos with a one-million-euro fine for tax irregularities.

It's claimed that there are irregularities with the taxation of his image rights, but the defender denies it.

El Mundo have reported that the image rights are at the centre of the issue and the same source says that Ramos has already paid 500,000 euros of the fine but has filed an appeal in which he argues his innocence.

Ramos believes he's always complied with the taxation criteria set, and trusts that the sanction will be lifted and the amount paid returned.

The Real Madrid and Spain captain released a statement explaining his side of events, and stressing his belief that all will be resolved in his favour as he's up to date with payments.
