Spanish prosecutors have recommended that former Barcelona and Chelsea striker Samuel Eto’o should serve more than 10 years in prison for alleged tax crimes committed while he played for the Catalan club.

Spanish court documents reveal that prosecutors are investigating four counts of tax fraud that totals to nearly $4m from 2006 until 2009, when the Cameroon international left the club to join Inter Milan.

They are demanding for a fine of $15.1m [£12.1m] for defrauding Spain’s tax authority, and are seeking the same punishment for the player’s agent at the time, Jose Maria Mesalles Mata.

Eto’o, 35, currently plays for Turkish Super Lig side Antalyaspor, having also played for Sampdoria and Everton in recent years. The well-travelled striker came through the Real Madrid academy before joining Real Mallorca in 2000, and Barcelona signed him four years later where he went on to become one of the best goalscorers in world football, helping the Catalans to three La Liga titles and two Champions League crowns before he left the Nou Camp in 2009.

Eto’o won a third European title with Inter Milan in 2009/10 under the guidance of Jose Mourinho, and he linked up with the Portuguese once again when he joined Chelsea for the 2013/14 season.

The news comes a day after Spanish prosecutors recommended a two-year jail sentence and $10.6m fine be given to Neymar for his part in a corruption case that surrounds his controversial transfer from Santos to Barcelona.

Eto’o’s former Barcelona teammate, Lionel Messi, was charged with tax fraud earlier this year. Messi and Javier Mascherano both received prison sentences of 21 months and 12 months respectively after being found guilty of tax fraud, though they were suspended and resulted in neither serving any jail time providing they do not offend again during their suspended sentences.

Messi was convicted in July this year for tax fraud and both he and his father, Jorge Messi, were sentenced to 21 months in prison. Neither have served time in jail though due to the suspensions to their sentence, with Messi ordered to pay €1.7m in fines over three counts of tax fraud, while his father had to pay €1.3m.

Neymar has already paid 188.8m Brazilian reals [£36m] after he was found guilty of tax evasion by a Brazilian court. Neymar was found to have failed to pay the tax due on his earnings from contracts with former club Santos, Barcelona and Nike from 2011 until 2013.

If found guilty, Eto’o is likely to serve jail time given prosecutors are seeking a much more severe punishment that those handed to Messi and Masherano and the one recommended for Neymar if he is charged.

COLORADO RAPIDS vs. SEATTLE SOUNDERS 2016 Western Conference Championship.....MUST READ

COLORADO RAPIDS vs. SEATTLE SOUNDERS
2016 Western Conference Championship – Leg 2
Dick's Sporting Goods Park | Commerce City, Colorado
Sunday, November 27
4 pm ET (ESPN | TSN2 in Canada)

The Lowdown:

Seattle struck the first blow in the Western Conference Championship, but thanks to Kevin Doyle's 13th-minute away goal at CenturyLink field, the aggregate goals series remains finely poised after a 2-1 Sounders win on Tuesday night.

The Rapids will be returning to a venue at which they have not yet lost in 2016, but this time around a draw will not be good enough. A 1-0 win would be good enough for the goal-shy Rapids, but Seattle will be on the hunt for an away goal to cancel out Colorado's and make the Rapids' path to MLS Cup significantly more complicated.

Colorado Rapids Snapshot:

• 2016 Regular Season Finish: West No. 2 seed (15-6-13 record, 58 pts / 11-0-6 home record)
• Current Form: L-W-L-D-L
• Strengths: Colorado have had a historically good year defensively and have continued to keep a sound backline in the playoffs. They are well-equipped to not concede, which is an important first step in advancing on Sunday, but not the decisive hurdle they have to clear.
• Weaknesses: While keeping goals out has been fairly straightforward for Colorado this year, scoring them has been a little trickier. Shkelzen Gashi is the team's leading goal threat, while the other forwards on the roster have contributed in fits and spurts. This Colorado team feels like a bunch of unlikely heroes waiting in the wings, but someone will need to step up.
• Injuries/Suspensions: Tim Howard (adductor) -- out; Dillon Serna (knee) -- out, Sam Cronin(suspension - yellow card accumulation) -- out
• Player to Watch: Jermaine Jones: The veteran midfielder is the man that gives the Rapids an extra gear, and his combative presence will be especially vital in the midfield with Sam Cronin sitting out due to yellow card accumulation. He's not really the goalscoring type, but he's also high up the list of players who could come up in the clutch for Colorado.
• Probable Starting XI: Zac MacMath; Eric Miller, Jared Watts, Axel Sjoberg, Marc Burch; Micheal Azira, Jermaine Jones; Sebastien Le Toux, Kevin Doyle, Shkelzen Gashi; Dominique Badji

Seattle Sounders Snapshot:

• 2016 Regular Season Finish: West No. 4 seed (14-14-6 record, 48 pts / 4-9-4 away record)
• Current Form: W-L-W-W-W
• Strengths: Once a weakness, Seattle can now count on a clean bill of health (save for Clint Dempsey) when they need it most. Andreas Ivanschitz and Alvaro Fernandez made their returns from injury off the bench in the first leg, which Jordan Morris recovered from a hamstring injury in time to start.
• Weaknesses: Few teams have really succeeded in shutting down Nicolas Lodeiro, but if they do Seattle will need a Plan B. They have a few potential candidates to help pick up the playmaking slack as the injury crisis lessens, but it's harder to imagine Seattle getting the goal or more they need if Lodeiro has an off night.
• Injuries/Suspensions: Clint Dempsey (irregular heartbeat) -- out; Oalex Anderson (right hamstring strain) -- questionable
• Player to Watch: Nicolas Lodeiro: The Sounders have been on a late-season tear thanks to the playmaking abilities of the Uruguay international, who arrived from Boca Juniors at the end of July. It is Lodeiro's feet that much of the Sounders' magic has come from and he could be instrumental in breaking down a stout Rapids backline on Sunday.
• Probable Starting XI: Stefan Frei; Tyrone Mears, Roman Torres, Chad Marshall, Joevin Jones; Osvaldo Alonso, Cristian Roldan, Nicolas Lodeiro, Erik Friberg, Jordan Morris; Nelson Haedo Valdez

HOW IT WORKS

As you already know, banks are supposed to be a source of financial help for their depositors, but in today's world that rarely happens. Without perfect credit and a large income, banks don't want anything to do with you. HELP2GET is a community where individuals can offer financial help and in return get help financially higher than what they provided. With a decentralized payment method, we offer a totally independent service for members. The philosophy is simple, HELP someone today, GET helped by someone tomorrow In the conventional banking system, a person can only withdraw the amount of money in their own bank account. For example, let us say Mary has $200 in the bank. She can't simply take out $250 from the bank, even though the bank has Peter's $1,000 and Scott's $7,000 which would cover Mary's withdrawal amount. Rather, she can take out a loan. The bank can loan out up to five times all the funds deposited there to anyone, and the bank profits from the interest. If the bank can take Peter, Scott's, and more of its clients' money and give it to Mary as a loan, why can't Mary simply ask Peter or Scott for financial assistance? Mary can ask... but Peter and Scott will likely say no, even if they know him. And Mary probably doesn't know who has extra money that could accommodate his needs anyway. Even if Peter has $1,000 that he won't use for the next couple of months he's unlikely to give it to Mary, because Mary can't guarantee that he'll pay the money back when Peter needs it. That is what Help2Get is all about. With Help2Get, if Peter helps Mary with $200, Mary doesn't have to promise to pay Peter back. This is simply because in Help2Get, whenever you provide help to someone today you have the CROWD GUARANTEE that you can rely on them whenever you need financial help in the future. So anytime Peter needs financial help after he's helped Mary, he can request it and the system will assign a financial helper to Peter. It could be Peter, or Scott, or any of the millions of Help2Get community members. Help2Get is not a bank or a company that take deposits. Help2Get is simply a platform where participants can exchange financial help directly. So if you provide help to someone else, whenever you need financial help millions of Help2Get community members will offer you the help you need, with no requirement for you to pay it back.
