Barcelona's tax Fraud Case

Spanish giants Barcelona have been charged against a tax fraud on signing Neymar from Santos by a Spanish court. 


A spokesman said last week ""Judge Pablo Ruz has charged FC Barcelona with an infringement against the tax authority relating to the purchase of the Brazilian player,"
Barcelona claimed no wrongdoing in the future as the public prosecutor asked the court to lay fraud charges on the club. 


Neymar's high profile move from Santos to Barcelona has also been a topic of investigation for possible misappropriation of funds said by a member of Barcelona. 

Barcelona Managing Committee reported said that they would be sending legal representatives to protect and defend the interests of the club.

Sandro Rossell stepped down as the President of the club. He said in an interview that he wanted to protect the image of the club and himself as he received many life threatening notes and messages anonymously. Rossell was replaced by deputy Josep Bartomeu who claimed that the Brazilian had cost them about 87.2 million and not 57.1 million which included all the payments to the family and the club. 


The club refused to show the actual details of the transfer but Neymar's father asked the club to reveal the confidential information. 

Santos asked the court to see the transfer deal with Neymar's family with a view to seeking a bigger cut in the transfer. The club lost their case and are now threatening the Spanish judge to hand over the transfer deal. 

Neymar was pretty angry on this topic as his anger was shown by him on the former Instagram page. He protested personally on his father's innocence and hit out Santos' current and former Presidents.
