Spanish prosecutors have accused Real Madrid footballer Cristiano Ronaldo of defrauding the authorities of millions of euros in tax.

A lawsuit against the Portuguese player has been filed in Madrid.

He is accused of evading tax of 14.7 million euros from 2011 to 2014.

He had previously said he was not worried about tax investigations as he had nothing to hide.

On this occasion he is accused of knowingly using a "business structure" to hide income made from his image rights.

Ronaldo is the world's highest‑paid sportsperson for the second successive year, according to Forbes' annual list of the world's wealthiest people.

He earned 93 million US dollars from salary, bonuses and endorsements last year.
