The report states the Netherlands’ Fiscal Information and Investigation Service (FIDO) claim the 48-year-old has been accused of defrauding the authorities out of over €100,000 (£86,500/$117,462) after he had declared he was an overseas tax resident whilst working and receiving an income in the country.
