Neymar, former Barcelona player and current PSG star, will face from tomorrow until December 31 an oral trial in the Catalan city on corruption charges in the irregular transfer from Santos to the Catalan club in 2013.Almost a month before the start of Qatar 2022, the figure of the team led by Tité could be sentenced to a sentence of two years in prison and an economic sanction of almost 10 million of euros, requested by the Prosecutor’s Office before the complaint filed in 2015 by the Brazilian company DIS, which owned the economic rights of the pass.
In addition, his parents, former FC Barcelona presidents Sandro Rosell, Maria Bartomeu, and former Santos leader Odilio Rodrigues Filho will also be tried. The remaining defendants are three legal entities: FC Barcelona, Santos FC and the company founded by the player’s parents. The Brazilian’s declaration is scheduled for Friday 21 or 28 of this month. Barcelona reported that the operation for Ney included about 57.1 million euros (40 million for his family and 17.1 for Santos), but the Justice estimated that it was at least 83 million. Meanwhile, for the company DIS, it received 6.8 million euros of the 17.1 million officially entered into the Brazilian club, these figures being hidden by the Barcelona and Santos clubs.
