Case Over Neymar’s Transfer To Barcelona Dismissed In Court

A Madrid court has dismissed a second case into alleged irregularities regarding the Neymar’s transfer to Barcelona.
National Court judge Jose de la Mata dismissed the complaint brought against the striker, his father, and Barcelona by Brazilian investment group DIS.
DIS was entitled to 40 percent of Neymar’s transfer from Brazilian club Santos in 2013, but it claimed it received a smaller compensation than it should have because part of the transfer fee was concealed.
Neymar and his father, who acts as his agent, and Barcelona’s current president and predecessor all denied any wrongdoing when they appeared in court in February.
Last month, the Barcelona board of directors reached an agreement regarding the taxes involved in the transfer.
