Former Aston Villa striker John Carew has been sentenced to 14 months in prison after pleading guilty to charges of tax evasion in his native Norway.
Carew said he thought he did not need to pay tax there as he lived abroad.
But prosecutors provided evidence showing he was in Norway more than 183 days a year during that time, which made him eligible to pay tax.
In addition to the jail sentence, he was ordered to pay a fine of £46,000.
