British media Daily Star reported on the 13th (Korea time) that `Liverpool Legend Cisse has been charged with tax evasion in France.' Cisse, a French striker who played for the national team, enjoyed his career in Liverpool. When Liverpool signed Cisse in 2004, it invested £14.5 million, the club's highest transfer fee at the time.
Cisse eventually won the Champions League and FA Cup in Liverpool. After that, he went through the Olympique de Marseille and Pinatinaikos FC, returned to the UK and played in QPR and Sunderland before turning into a leader after retiring in 2021.
However, Cisse was recently indicted by French prosecutors on charges of tax evasion. Local prosecutors sought a one-year prison term and a fine of 85,000 pounds (about 150 million won) at the Bastia Criminal Court on the 12th. However, Cisse did not appear in the court. Therefore, it is highly likely that the sentence will be sentenced as the prosecution demanded. The court is due to make a final ruling on Nov. 13.

It's not just that. Cisse is also accused of failing to declare a £195,000 value-added tax on additional income based on his image. In the end, the total amount of tax evasion suspected on the two charges amounts to £660,000.
Malcolm Molda, the French lawyer in charge of the caseIa has been suing in this regard for years past the market. He owes a lot to the tax authorities, but he did not launder the funds because he had no history of tax fraud. It can be seen that there is a problem with the accounting firm." It is argued that the market price was charged with tax evasion due to the accounting firm's mistake. How the court judges this determines whether or not the market price is bound.
