Court Dismisses Transfer Fraud Case Against Barcelona Forward Neymar, Father |PoliFocus

A Spanish court has dismissed a fraud and corruption case against football superstar Neymar and his father.

The case had been brought by the Brazilian investment fund DIS, which formerly owned the transfer rights to the 24-year-old forward.


According to BBC report, the company claimed it was short-changed when Neymar transferred from Brazilian club Santos to Barcelona in 2013.

Neymar and his father, who acts as his agent, have both denied any wrongdoing.In a separate case, Barcelona was forced to pay a fine of 5.5m euros ($6.1m; £4.7m) last month because of tax irregularities in Neymar's transfer from Santos.

At Barcelona, he forms a powerful attacking trio with Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez.In a separate case in Barcelona this week,Messi wassentenced to 21 months in jailfor tax fraud.

The Argentine football great has appealed against the court's ruling.
