It appears that the tax fraud case involving Samuel Eto’o has taken a turn, with the blame shifting to his former agent, Josep Maria Mesalles. According to reports, Mesalles, who was responsible for managing Eto’o’s assets, allegedly used them to make investments in his own favor without Eto’o’s knowledge.
The alleged misconduct dates back to 2002 when Eto’o acquired a majority stake in Bulte 2002 Empresarial SL, a company with real estate holdings in Catalonia and Cameroon. Mesalles, in charge of managing Eto’o’s assets, purportedly made investments in various real estate properties, including in France, without informing the Cameroonian star and through financial manipulation.
Initially accused of defrauding nearly 3.5 million euros, Eto’o is now said to be the victim in this case. The latest reports suggest that Mesalles has been ordered to pay Eto’o the sum of 14.9 million euros.
As legal matters can be complex and subject to updates, it is recommended to follow reliable news sources for the latest developments in this case.
