The Argentinian football player Lionel Messi along with his father, who is also his manager, must appear in court next September on possible charges of tax fraud, local media reported last week.

Messi and his father, Jorge Horacio Messi, are charged with defrauding the Spanish treasury more than 4 million euros ($6.6 million) in tax declarations of 2007, 2008 and 2009.

They sold Messi's image rights to foreign countries avoiding paying taxes in Spain, where Messi plays with FC Barcelona.
