Brazil Coach Luiz Felipe Scolari Responds to Tax Fraud Charges
Luiz Felipe Scolari, the coach of the Brazil national football team, has responded to the tax fraud charges brought against him in Portugal. The news was initially reported by Africa Top Sports earlier today, confirming that the 66-year-old had been indicted on Wednesday.
Scolari, who has managed numerous top clubs and national teams throughout his career, vehemently denied the allegations and stressed his commitment to transparency. In a statement to AFP Brazil, he defended his financial practices, saying: “I have always declared all my income correctly. In all the countries where I have worked, I have declared my salaries and income.”
The Brazil coach expressed confidence in his innocence, adding: “I am absolutely convinced that I am telling the truth. If there are mistakes, you should not talk to me.”
Scolari’s statement highlights his belief that he has complied with all tax regulations throughout his career, and he remains firm in his defense against the charges. As the legal proceedings continue, Scolari’s response suggests that he intends to clear his name and resolve the matter.
