Start of Messi tax trial

The tax trial against the Argentina striker has started on Tuesday in Barcelona. Lionel Messi, together with his father, have been accused of evading tax from 2007 until 2009 for a sum of 4.1 million euros. The 28 year old star will testify on Thursday.
His testimony process will disrupt Messi's preparation just four days before the teams opening first game in the Copa America Centenario against Chile. But today one of tournament favorites - the Argentinians, are themselves in doubt over participating in the event.
