Neymar has recently been acquitted of every tax fraud case filed against him by the Brazilian company DIS, which owned 40% of his image rights at the time of his transfer to Barcelona in 2013. Removing all charges against him, the Spanish court in its verdict declared, “It has not been proven that there was a false contract or that DIS was intended to be harmed.”
As per reports, the Santos authorities have claimed position on Bartomeu, Sandro Rosell, and Neymar Jr to get imprisonment of 5 years. The player and the management from the sides have previously reportedly agreed upon a profit of 35m that the player’s former club would gain on his transfer to Barcelona, but that didn’t happen. The legal victory of Neymar comes days after the Brazil team was eliminated from the 2022 FIFA World Cup in the quarterfinals.
The other defendants who were declared innocent include Neymar’s father, his mother – former Santos president Odilio Rodriguez and former Barcelona executives Sandro Rosell and Josep Bartomeu. However, DIS plans to appeal the decision and said, “DIS regrets that an opportunity has been lost to put a stop to certain corrupt practices in the world of Football that are inconceivable in other activities.”
It was reported that the Brazilian’s contract had some mysteries, due to which it happened. Both the club’s management and authorities have their different say on the issue and they must resolve the issue as the Brazillian player is a Paris player now and is in full condition to fight for it. Neymar’s move caused trouble to both Santos and Barcelona and a further appeal will seemingly be a no-harm to the player as he’s able to fight for the issue himself.
