Andorra investigates madridista Carvajal for buying smuggled luxury watches

BarcelonaAn Andorran court is investigating several Spanish First Division footballers, including Real Madrid player Dani Carvajal, for the purchase of smuggled luxury watches. The Public Prosecutor's Office of the Principality has requested the collaboration of the UCO of the Civil Guard, and next week it will take statements from the players and businessmen investigated in this scheme.

The investigations by the Andorran justice system are focused on an Andorran company, Best in Asociados, which is dedicated to the marketing of high-end watches. The alleged crime would be that this sale was carried out without paying the corresponding taxes.

According to the police investigations revealed by Buying watches in Andorra without paying taxes

According to police investigations revealed by El Mundo, a Spanish company bought luxury watches from state distributors and formally imported them to the Andorran company, where they resold them to the players. In this way, they tried to avoid paying VAT, since by carrying out the operation from Andorra they took advantage of the Principality's tax deduction, and obtained an illegal profit margin.

The Andorran magistrate has requested Spain's collaboration to interrogate those under investigation. Apart from the footballers, there are also several individuals and Spanish companies that sold the watches to the Andorran company that later resold them.
