Former Barcelona player Samuel Eto'o and former agent Jose Maria Mesalles have been handed a 22-month and one year suspended prison sentence respectively for tax fraud of 3.8 million euros between 2006 and 2009.
In a statement, Eto'o admitted accept responsibility but also placed the blame on Mesalles, who he viewed as a father at the time of the offences.
"It was my father who took care of the child I was then. I'm going to pay but I've always done what my father told me I had to do."
