Published: January 24, 2014
Bursaspor wing-back Taye Taiwo has had his house confiscated by the authorities in France due to his failure to remit his taxes from the period 2008 - 2011.
According to a report in authoritative regional daily La Provence, the Nigeria international owed backlog of taxes of approximately one million euros.
His mansion in Marseille - complete with all the amenities including swimming pool and garden - was auctioned to a secret buyer for 405,000 euros.
But it can only be released to the new landlord after the statutory ten - day period specified.
With an annual income of around 2 million euros, Taye Taiwo had been ordered by the Directorate of Public Finance of the PACA region to pay the outstanding liabilities totaling € 1,025, 120.29 since March 29, 2013.
Taye Taiwo has maintained that there was a misunderstanding as his bankers had a standing order to deduct his taxes from his wages.
