The tax affairs of football manager Jose Mourinho should be investigated by UK officials, an MP says.
The tax affairs of football manager Jose Mourinho should be investigated by British officials following allegations he used off-shore companies to reduce his tax bill, a UK MP has said.
Mourinho is accused of moving millions of pounds of earnings to the British Virgin Islands to avoid paying tax.
The Manchester United manager’s agent said the allegations were “unfounded”.
Chair of the public accounts committee, Meg Hillier MP, said UK authorities had to take a “close look” at the claims.
Further claims about the tax affairs of Mourinho, the Portuguese manager – as well as other top international football stars – have been made in the Sunday Times and other European newspapers.
The publications acquired leaked documents from the website Football Leaks, following a cyber attack on football agents earlier this year.
