Former world tennis number one Marat Safin has denied tax evading accusations following a report linked the two-time Grand Slam champion with Swiss bank accounts.
Based on the leaked documents from HSBC's Swiss private bank, the report said that Safin was linked to a client account allegedly holding up to 4.87 million dollars in three accounts.
Calling the allegations as nonsense, Safin said that no one had been evading any kind of taxes, Sport24 reported.
The International Consortium of Investigative Journalists said they didn't specify the exact role that Safin had in relation to the account, the report added.
