Neymar Serving Jail Time for Spanish Fraud Case 'Very Improbable ... (Newsweek)

A Brazilian investment firm is asking for a five-year prison sentence and a fine of at least €10 million from the soccer star over alleged fraud.

Despite the hefty fine and threatened jail time, one attorney thinks it is highly unlikely that Neymar will actually serve a prison sentence. Neymar also testified that his father, who acted also as his manager, handled the contracts. They have also requested that Neymar be suspended from playing soccer for five years. It is reported that DIS received $16.6 million as a transfer fee, but an investigative judge found that the transfer fee was at least $81.2 million. We'll see," said Abad. "It's hard to read all the contracts that they sign and understand all the payment[s] that they were doing...So it's something that will be possible, that he [Neymar] will be declared not guilty.

Barca said the transfer was valued at 57.1 million euros, with 40 million euros paid to N&N and 17.1 million to Santos, of which 6.8 million was given to DIS. Neymar had originally been due to testify later in the month but the court agreed to bring forward his appearance in order to avoid a clash with his busy PSG schedule. Dressed in a dark suit and white shirt, the superstar said he didn't remember if he participated in talks leading to a precontract deal with Barcelona in 2011 ahead of his transfer two years later from Brazilian club Santos. The firm claims that Neymar, Barcelona and the Brazilian club colluded to mask the true cost of his transfer thereby defrauding it of its legitimate financial interests. "Neymar never takes part in the negotiations," his father Neymar Da Silva Santos told the court. The proceedings began barely a month before the Nov 20 start of the World Cup, at which Neymar is expected to play a key role for Brazil. The trial is the culmination of a years-long legal saga over his 2013 transfer, with Neymar one of nine defendants in the dock on corruption-related charges, among them his parents and their N&N company, which manages his affairs. Neymar only signed documents his father gave him and did nothing illegal, the Brazil superstar told a Spanish court Tuesday where he is on trial for alleged irregularities over his transfer to Barcelona nearly a decade ago.
