Other people accused of the cause were also acquitted by the district court in Barcelona, as announced on Tuesday. The public prosecutor’s office had dropped all allegations after initially demanding a two-year prison sentence and a fine of ten million euros for Neymar.
In addition to Neymar, who has been playing for Paris Saint-Germain since 2017, the pro’s parents and two ex-presidents of FC Barcelona, Josep Maria Bartomeu and Sandro Rosell, were also accused. It was determined because of suspected fraud and corruption. The Brazilian investment fund DIS, which saw itself cheated by a sum of millions, had sued. The fund – he held 40 percent of the marketing rights to the striker during Neymar’s time at FC Santos – saw it as proven that significantly more than the stated 57.1 million euros were transferred in the course of the change.
According to the investigations of the Spanish authorities, at least 83 million euros are said to have flowed for the transfer. As early as October, the responsible public prosecutor noted that there was “not the slightest sign of a crime” and recommended that the nine accused be acquitted. The indictment was based on allegations that could not have been proven. Neymar (30) had stressed in court that he was not involved in the negotiations.
