Friday, 17 October 2008Not everything is happiness this year for Valentino Rossi. After achieving his eighth title of world champion, the Italian pilot had received bad news that, as it can not be otherwise, the Treasury reaches of their country. And is that the great champion will have to pay eight million euros over the Italian Treasury, so the final amount of the penalty imposed on Valentino, for tax fraud, has increased from 35 to 43 million euros, according to published 'La Gazzetta dello Sport.
Again acc! ording to the newspaper Italian, this significant increase is due to a review by the tax authorities of the period between 2005 and 2006, from 15 to 23 million penalty. The other 20 million to be paid by the Doctor, for the period 2001-2004, have not undergone changes. In this way, Valentino reached a settlement with the tax authorities of his country, last February, to pay for these 35 million euros, a distant figure at 62 million that, initially, he asked for in Italy, Looks like now the figure has risen again.
