Portugal's Prosecutor General's office is investigating Brazil's national soccer coach Luiz Felipe Scolari for alleged tax evasion while he coached the Portuguese squad, and has requested help abroad, including in the United States, officials said. The investigation adds to a list of World Cup host Brazil's concerns before the tournament kicks off in 12 Brazilian cities next month. \"We confirm that Luiz Felipe Scolari was named an arguido (suspect) within an investigation being conducted... The inquiry is investigating facts that occurred between 2003 and 2008 and are related to possible breach of tax regulations,\" the prosecutor's office said on Wednesday. Scolari, known as Felipao, or Big Phil, earlier denied the allegations after the first media reports and said he paid all the required taxes while he worked in Portugal.
