(ANSA) - Rome, February 11 - The supreme Court of Cassation
on Tuesday ordered former Italy, Bari, Roma, Inter, Sampdoria,
AC Milan, Parma and Real Madrid striker Antonio Cassano to hand
over 263,000 euros in back taxes to the inland revenue agency.
A lower court in Puglia had deemed the payments to Cassano's
agent fringe benefits and had voiced doubts on whether they
should be taxed.
The Cassation Court has now ruled they were part of Cassano's
compensation when he was at Roma.
