MADRID (Reuters) - Spain's top court has annulled a 2.1 million euro ($2.37 million) fine imposed on 34-year-old FC Barcelona defender Gerard Pique in 2016 as part of a dispute over his tax returns in 2008.
The Supreme Court ruled Pique could deduct the contribution he paid to social security in Britain when he was playing for Manchester United a decade ago from his Spanish income tax, according to a court document released on Wednesday.
The ruling sets a precedent, a court statement said, meaning it could affect other athletes in a similar situation.
