Teaching visa and a criminal record

[cheesycommon]

I am considering being a subject teacher in China, and have already had a couple of interviews. I have a very unique problem, though. Basically my situation is as follows: I am originally from EU country A. I moved to EU country B a few years ago. I was working a university job for a while, but had to quit due to health reasons. I was out of work, started freelancing without knowing how to manage it. I ended up getting an accountant to take care of my local taxes, which I took care of in an organized manner. However, I forgot to inform my home country about some of the income. I thought I was only being taxed in the country of residence, but apparently I was subject to double taxation. I was accused of tax evasion, received a hefty fine and a 4 month suspended sentence. It sucked, as it really was an honest mistake, and I wasn't purposely trying to hide my income.

 

Otherwise, my record is clean, but I am worried that this will greatly impact being able to get a teaching visa to China. Is there anything I could do?
