Barcelona's Javier Mascherano admitted to two counts of tax fraud totalling just over 1.5 million euros ($1.64 million) before a judge on Thursday.
Mascherano arrived at the court in Gava, a coastal town on the outskirts of Barcelona where the player resides, at 9:00 am local time (0800 GMT) accompanied by his lawyers. His testimony before the court lasted barely five minutes.
Spanish state prosecutors alleged the former West Ham and Liverpool midfielder failed to declare more than 1.5 million euros in earnings in 2011 and 2012 by ceding his image rights to companies he owns in Portugal and the United States.
