Why is it shameless? Barcelona are right. This is obviously done by Real controlled politics.

Shameless and disgusting campaign by Barcelona.

A slap in the face for all the hard-working Spaniards who have lost (and continue) to lose their businesses and homes each day. A HUNDRED families each day to be precise.

Always had a strong aversion to the government/taxpayer-subsidised Real Madrid, but Barcelona are becoming just as bad.

The tax scheme that defrauded the government of €4.2 million was set up when he was around the age of 20 and continued until 2009 when he was 22.

Even though there is no concrete evidence that proves/disproves his awareness, it takes a lot of naivity to think Messi had no idea what was going on, especially considering it was his own dad who started it. Too much circumstancial evidence that points straight toward Messi himself.

Couldn't be done by someone more close to him than his own padre.

And discontinued later, showing that when Messi was mature enough to make his own decisions, he changed his mind

If he indeed had a hand in its discontinuation himself; then how can you claim it not to be theft?

Of course it's theft and the fact that Messi's dad and Leo himself have sternly denied it for years, despite strong and concrete evidence pointing toward his dad in particular makes the whole story even more revolting.

No morals to defend here; even if he has regrets, he still has to pay for his misconduct.

It is obvious this case is politically motivated because Catalonia wants to separate

It could be. Still, Messi has been involved in a crime and would have faced similar concequences if that weren't the case.
