The ex Barcelona and Spainish national team star is facing a criminal investigation in Peru over his alleged involvement in an aggravated fraud scheme that reportedly affected local businessmen for more than $600,000.
According to the Peruvian Prosecutor’s Office, the former player’s (his companies, NSN Barcelona and NSN South America) image and international prestige were allegedly used to attract investors under the pretext of funding sports and music events that ultimately never took place.
The case is currently in its preliminary stage, and Peruvian authorities may request additional information from both the companies involved and the individuals implicated.
