Norwegian referee Svein Oddvar Moen, one of the most prominent match officials in his country, who has refereed 26 UEFA Champions League matches throughout his career, was sentenced to 4 months in prison for tax evasion.
The decision was made this week by a Norwegian court and refers to the tax evasion of the 44-year-old referee between 2014 and 2020. During this time, Moen refereed several matches in Egypt and Saudi Arabia as a guest but has not declared these fees (1 million Norwegian crowns, which is about 87,000 euros) to Norwegian finances.
