Juventus star Cristiano Ronaldo avoided jail on Tuesday but was ordered by a Spanish court to pay 3.57 million euros ($4.1 million) for committing tax fraud when he was at Real Madrid.

The court sentenced him to a two-year jail
sentence that it immediately reduced to a fine
of 365,000 euros, which adds on to another
penalty of 3.2 million euros, the sentence
read.
A court spokesman said he did not know
whether this would be added on to the 18.8
million euros that Ronaldo had agreed to pay
Spain’s taxman under a deal reached in June
with the player’s lawyers.
Ronaldo, who last year joined Italian
champions Juventus, returned to Madrid for
the court appearance which lasted around 40
minutes as the deal was officially presented to
the judge.
