The footballer risks two years in prison for his transfer to Barça
Dressed in a black suit, tie and dark glasses and accompanied by his father, his mother and his lawyers, Neymar Jr. this Monday before a Barcelona court, where he will be tried for the transfer that Barça paid Santos so that the Brazilian footballer will play for Barça. The player’s father and mother are also on the bench, as are the two former Blaugrana presidents, Sandro Rosell and Josep María Bartomeu. The PSG footballer and his father are the main defendants. The Rio striker and his father face two years in prison for alleged corruption between individuals and fraud. The declaration of the end is not scheduled until October 21. Rosell could be sentenced to five years in his third trial.
Neymar has sat next to his father and his mother on the suspect’s couch. The two exmandatorios blaugranas are placed in a later row. Neymar hugged Rosell and greeted Bartomeu, vice president during the time being reviewed. When entering the field, the football player waved. Unlike Messi, who was cheered by fans when he was tried for tax violations, Neymar was not expected by any fan.
What is being judged by the Barcelona court is the transfer operation for Neymar to play for Barca. It is suspected that the father and player, Barça and Santos, fragmented the transfer to hide the real costs of the operation and avoid paying the federation fees to the DIS fund, which represented the player. This company acts as a private prosecutor. She was the one who filed the complaint. He had 40% of the player rights. The transfer of Neymar to Barca was carried out in 2013. On the first day of the trial, previous questions are expected to be resolved and some witnesses will also be heard.
This is the second phase of the Neymar case. In 2016, Barça was already convicted in exchange for the acquittal of Rosell and Bartomeu. The Brazilian’s stormy passage through the Barça club ended when PSG paid 222 million in 2017.
