Paris Saint-Germain’s Brazilian soccer star Neymar faces jail time for moving from FC Santos to FC Barcelona.
PSG star is currently struggling with some concerns that are not about the round ball. The Brazilian is accused of corruption and fraud and has had to answer in court. However, the offensive player pushed a wrongdoing with intent.
Neymar joined FC Santos nine years ago. In connection with the transfer, however, irregularities have arisen that now need to be clarified in court. Neymar doesn’t feel guilty and insisted he only ‘signed the paperwork’ he received from his father. It was he who “always led the contract negotiations” and therefore also bears responsibility for them. “I sign what he tells me,” said the 30-year-old.
The statement is credible to a certain extent, especially since Neymar does not really give the impression that apart from football and a salary that arrives on time, he is particularly interested in what is happening off the beaten track. Nevertheless, everyone is of course responsible for what they sign.
Neymar’s future unclear: prosecutors demand two years in prison
According to the news agency AFP Neymar was the third witness to testify on Tuesday after a Barca official and Real Madrid president Perez. This was actually only planned for October 21st or 28th, but the date was brought forward due to overlaps with football games.
It is still unclear what will happen next for Neymar. The public prosecutor is demanding a two-year prison sentence and a fine of ten million euros. Neymar can hardly care about the money, but of course he doesn’t care about his freedom. Alongside the Brazilian hope, his parents, former Barca presidents Rosell and Bartomeu and six other people have also been charged.
