MADRID - 22 March 2018: Spain's prosecutor said on Wednesday it was seeking a five-year jail sentence and a fine of 4 million euros ($4.9 million) for former soccer player Xabi Alonso over accusations of tax fraud.

The prosecutor said in a statement Alonso is accused of defrauding the Spanish state of some 2 million euros between 2010 and 2012.

The prosecutor called for the same sentence to be applied to Alonso's financial advisor Ivan Zaldua Azcuenaga and the administrator of consultancy shell company, Ignasi Maestre Casanova.
