John Caro suspected of gross tax evasion

But Norway’s Jon Caro, 41, has also had a career that has included Valencia, Rome, Besiktas, Lyon and Aston Villa, among others.

Now, however, Karo has had issues with justice, according to the Norwegian newspaper الصحيفة Dagens Näringsliv. Caro was previously in a tax dispute over whether he should pay taxes in the UK or Norway, but now also suspected of gross tax evasion.

We confirm that we have launched an investigation based on a report from the Tax Department. We have good reason to suspect Caro of gross tax evasion, says Attorney General Marian Bender.
