Former FIFA World Player of the Year (2006),
Fabio Cannavaro, 41, has been sentenced to 10
months in prison for breaching orders to keep
out of his home after it was seized by
authorities.
The home of the former Real Madrid defender
turned coach was seized after he was accused
of tax evasion. The authorities claim he owes
over €1m in unpaid taxes. They also seized
goods worth about €1million as well as a
€180,000 yacht belonging to Cannavaro.
He was arrested after he was caught going for a
swim at his home's swimming pool with his wife
and brother after breaking the lock authorities
had used to lock his home. His brother and wife
were also given custodial sentences. All three
have appealed and will therefore have their
sentences suspended until a final judgment is
made.
