The former w🐬orld champion was accused of six crimes against the tax authoritꦺies, surrounding a failure to pay tax in Spain between 2010 and 2014.

The prosecution demanded a 24-year prisoജn sentence plus a €12m fine bu💫t Pons has escaped both.

The Court of Barcelona found that he spent more than 200 days outside of Spain during this four-year period (at motorcycle circuits around the world). It also found that his tax residence was in Monaco betwee🌳n 2010 and 2012, 𝄹and in the United Kingdom from 2012 to 2014.

Pons was the 1988 and 1989 250cc worl🐼d champion, and as team owner of Pons Racing he won the 2013 Moto2 title with Pol Espargaro.
