La Liga leading goalscorer Dovbyk charged with alleged tax fraud

A storm could be brewing at Girona. Lawyer Evgeniy Kuzmin sentenced in 'Sportarena' the alleged illegality committed in the signing of Artem Dovbyk by Girona from Dnipro-1 for 8 million euros.

The alleged tax fraud is committed because of Oleksiy Lundovsky. The player's agent allegedly set up a third entity in Estonia to avoid taxation in Ukraine, which UEFA can investigate.

"Girona had to pay the corresponding amount for the transfer of Artem Dovbyk. And so it happened. The taxation should be exclusively according to Ukrainian law. This is normal when the seller - Dnipro-1 - is Ukrainian, Dovbyk is Ukrainian and the agent is Ukrainian. All payments should be made only to Ukrainian bank accounts. In this case, it is not clear what documents were used to pay for agency services to an Estonian company registered in the name of a Ukrainian agent," said Evgeniy Kuzmin.

However, 'Mundo Deportivo' said that these serious allegations are not considered grounds for a sanction of loss of status or participation in European competitions. But UEFA will take action
