Madrid, December 13 (QNA) – A Spanish court acquitted the Brazilian football star, Neymar da Silva, of corruption charges related to his 2013 transfer his Brazilian club Santos to FC Barcelona.
The court also stated that the judges also decided the acquittance of all the nine accused tried in the case.
The case, brought by Spanish prosecutors, stemmed from a complaint made by DIS, a Brazilian company that owned 40% of Neymar’s when he was at Santos.
DIS argued they lost out on their rightful cut from the transfer because the true value of the deal was understated by the parties involved.
Currently, Neymar is playing for the French Paris Saint-Germain FC, since his transferred from Barcelona in 2017. (QNA)
