Lassana Diarra in tax fraud probe
Real Madrid midfielder Lassana Diarra is facing charges relating to a tax fraud probe by police in Le Havre, AFP reported citing the French regional paper Paris-Normandie.
The 26-year-old defender has been placed under official judicial investigation.
Football agent John Williams has also been targeted in the affair, notably for his role in Diarra's 20 million euro (£18.9 million) transfer from Portsmouth to Real Madrid in January 2009.
