Gary Lineker's brother jailed for cash smuggling

The millionaire brother of Gary Lineker, the celebrated former England footballer, has been jailed for two-and-a-half years for a £220,000 tax fraud and faces a further 24 months if he failed to pay a £90,000 confiscation order. Wayne Lineker, 43, moved to Tenerife in 1988 and, with his brother's blessing, decided to cash in on the name of the striker. Shortly afterwards, he opened the World Famous Lineker's Bar in Playa de las Americas, Tenerife.
