Real Madrid's Croatian midfielder Luka Modric is facing perjury chargesCroatian prosecutors have filed perjury charges against Real Madrid midfielder Luka Modric for his testimony about financial deals with a former Dinamo Zagreb director. Mamic stands charged with embezzlement and tax fraud for taking an unspecified chunk without declaring it to tax authorities. Prosecutors claim there was no legal contract between Modric and Mamic and that their private deal was backdated after the player had already been sold to the London club. If charged and found guilty, Modric could face up to five years in prison. The trial is seen as a test of Croatian judiciary in the face of widespread corruption.
