Dani Alves investigated for irregular income of £10m

Obviously, there are certain requirements for someone to receive money from their country's Public Administration. One way to avoid them is to carry our the transaction via an NGO, so that the government understands the NGO, and the NGO understands the recepient. If this happens without any irregularities, there is no problem, but Dani Alves has been in the headlines for suspicious activity in his accounts.

According to 'Globe Esporte', he is being investigated by the Brazilian Public Tax Office because there is a chance he received nearly £10 million via an inactive account. By being inactive on the official registers, it would mean that the player could not receive public funds, meaning the transfer is illegal. 

The investigation is trying to find out whether this happened, and if it happened on purpose, and if it happened with the aim of avoiding the necessary requirements when receiving public money. If all this is confirmed, it would be a bleak picture for the ex-Barcelona player, who would have to face months of trials, turning up at court and potentially hefty fines.

While this episode evolves, Dani Alves is concentrated on playing in the World Cup with Brazil. He was actually getting ready for the tournament by using Barcelona's facilites when the season with his club Pumas, finished. Joan Laporta welcomed him with open arms so he was able to get ready before joining the Brazil side.
