prepare to be tried; Neymar could end up in prison for five years; Report

PSG superstar and Brazilian national team Neymar Jr. faces jail time for five years, according to reports. The bribery and fraud case against the player comes after he moved from Santos to Barcelona in 2013. A Brazilian investment firm filed a complaint against the actor.

The actor will be tried on Sunday in Spain The sun Report.

When Neymar was at Santos, 40% of the player was owned by DIS, an investment company. However, DIS claims they received very little from Santos and the € 57.1 million he paid when the player arrived at Barca.

DIS claims they should have received 40 percent of the $ 57.1 million, but that the $ 40 million went directly to Neymar’s family. The DIS prepared for a legal battle after showing that it received only 40 percent of the remaining € 17.1 million.

DIS demands that they get more than this amount.

“They didn’t transfer Neymar for a high sum. There were clubs offering up to € 60 million,” says the DIS lawyer.

But Neymar’s attorney made it clear that it is Neymar’s legal right to choose which club to play for.

“Switching from one club to another is at the player’s discretion. No free competition rules apply here. The player is not a commodity, product or service of any kind.” He is a human being who has the right to make your own decisions, ”Neymar’s attorney said.

Neymar has completely denied the DIS allegations. But in 2017 Neymar lost his appeal before the Spanish High Court.

Neymar’s trial begins on Monday.

Spanish prosecutors are demanding two years in prison and a 10 million euro fine for Neymar. But the DIS argument is that Neymar should be sentenced to five years in prison.

According to the Sun report, Neymar’s parents and former Barcelona presidents Josep Maria Bartameu and Sandro Rosell will also face trial. In addition to them, Odileo Rodríguez, the then president of Santos, will also be tried.

But Neymar’s lawyers said Spanish courts had no jurisdiction to try his family. They say the deal was made in Brazil with Brazilian citizens and Neymar that he went to Spain cannot be seen as a crime.
