More photos of Lionel Messi & his father in Spanish court today

The Barcelona and Argentina football star, Lionel Messi, who is on trial for alleged tax fraud in Spain appeared in court today where he told a court he had no involvement in the management of his financial affairs."I was playing football, I knew nothing," he said.

Messi and his father Jorge, who manages his finances, are accused of defrauding Spain of €4.1m (£3.2m; $4.6m). The authorities allege that the two used tax havens in Belize and Uruguay to conceal earnings from image rights, an accusation the 28-year-old footballer and his father denied.
