According to Mundo Deportivo, the Italian has been charged with two counts of tax evasion dating back to 2014 and 2015.
At the time, the legendary coach was serving as Real manager in his first stint at the club, with the report alleging €1.06 million (R21.7 million) is unaccounted for.
Ancelotti could now potentially be facing time behind bars, as per the report, with prosecutors seeking a jail sentence of four years and nine months for the 64-year-old.
They allege that Ancelotti, in order to avoid paying certain taxes, launched a "complex and confusing network of companies to channel these income".
The tactician is currently in his second stint at the 14-time UEFA Champions League winners, and has a deal at the club until 2025.
