In addition to Neymar (30), who now plays for Paris Saint-Germain, former Barça presidents Sandro Rosell and Josep Maria Bartomeu have to answer in court. They are accused of corruption and fraud.
According to media reports, the public prosecutor's office is to demand a two-year prison sentence for Neymar, who is also to pay a fine of ten million euros. Barça originally put the transfer value at 57.1 million euros (40 million for Neymar's family, 17.1 for Santos), but later had to admit 83.3 million as the true figure.
The starting point of the proceedings is a lawsuit by the Brazilian investment fund DIS, which is said to have owned 40 percent of the rights to the player at the time Neymar was transferred from FC Santos to Spain. DIS had therefore sued Neymar, his father, those responsible for Barça and those from Santos.
From a sporting point of view, the Brazilian is clear again after the speculations of the last few weeks . The 30-year-old had recently announced himself to PSG.
