A judge of Gavà has desestimado the resource presented by Lionel Messi against his imputación by three crimes of fiscal fraud when understanding that the forward of the FC Barcelona could know the activities of his father, Jorge Horace Messi, that is his representative and carries all his economic activity. The judge also refuses the proposal of Messi that they declare like witnesses Alfonso Nebot, the lawyer Ángel Juárez and the director of the area of management of football of the FC Barcelona, Raül Sanllehí, for understanding that his statements "do not result pertinent".

Although the public prosecutor supported the resource presented by Messi because it understands that there are not indications of the commission of any crime by part of the player and asked "the sobreseimiento free with regard to the player", the lawyer of the State has opposite and the judge understands that it is a "subjective opinion" that Messi "was to the margin of the economic management, contractual and tributaria of the income that generated", although it was his father the one who managed them.
