Former Premier League and Norway star John Carew has been sentenced to 14 months jail term with an order to pay a fine for tax evasion.
An Olso District Court found 43-year-old Carew guilty of failing to report taxable income of 12.8 million kroner and assets of 307 million kroner between 2014 and 2019.
Carew was also ordered to pay a fine of 540,000 kroner as punishment.
The former lanky striker featured Aston Villa, Valencia, Lyon and the Norwegian national team during his playing career and he is now an actor and photographer in Norway.
Carew pleaded guilty to the charges with an excuse of living in Britain during the period in question which did not make him pay tax in the Scandinavian country.
