Samuel Eto'o wins his tug-of-war with Spanish tax authorities

Samuel Eto'o won a legal victory before the Spanish courts in a tax dispute over his image rights. The judges annulled a tax reassessment of over 900,000 euros (about 268 million FCFA) for the 2005 fiscal year, ruling that the tax authorities had acted outside the legal time limits. This decision ends several years of litigation between the former Cameroonian footballer and the Spanish tax office.
