Default Valentino Rossi faces tax evasion investigation

http://www.smh.com.au/news/motorspor...530480006.html

The Italian tax authorities are onto Rossi! He has potentially undeclared 60 million euros, after leaving Italy to take residence in the UK.

^Yes, I am rather confused as well, because the UK has lots of taxes. In fact, "Tax Freedom Day" in the UK, this year, occured on June 1, as opposed to April 30 in the US and April 24 in Australia.

Do you want to pay millions of dollars just for the right to live in Monaco?

Well, I guess if you were as rich as Rossi, you could afford to.
