		</div><p>Former Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo will be tried for tax fraud on January 21, a Spanish court has said.</p>
<p>The footballer is expected to plead guilty and receive a suspended two-year sentence, in agreement with a deal the Portugal forward struck with Spain’s state prosecutor and its tax authorities this year.</p>
<p>The deal includes Ronaldo agreeing to also pay a fine of close to 19 million euros (£17 million) for the reduced sentence.</p>
<p>In Spain, a judge can suspend sentences for two years or less for first-time offenders.</p>
<p>Last year, a state prosecutor accused Ronaldo of four counts of tax fraud from 2011-14 worth 14.7 million euros (£13.2 million).</p>
<p>Ronaldo was accused of having used shell companies outside Spain to hide income made from image rights.</p>
<p>The accusation does not involve his salary from former club Real Madrid.</p>
<p>Ronaldo left Madrid to play for Italian champions Juventus last summer.</p>
<p>In 2016, Barcelona forward Lionel Messi received a suspended 21-month jail sentence after being found guilty of defrauding tax authorities of 4.1 million euros (£3.7 million).</p>
