Barcelona charged with tax fraud over Neymar signing
Primera Division: Barcelona charged with tax fraud over Neymar signing
Barcelona have been charged with tax fraud by a Spanish court over the signing of Brazilian striker Neymar.
On Thursday, Judge Pablo Ruz charged the club with "an infringement against the tax authority" over the signing of the Brazilian international, who joined from Santos in June 2013.
Barca denied any wrongdoing over the transfer in a statement released on Wednesday, a day after Spain's public prosecutor had asked Judge Ruz to lay fraud charges against the club.
"The club's dealings with respect to this operation, and in light of all information available, was at all times in line with the relevant legal legislation," read the statement, which also revealed that the club would be sending legal representatives to court "within the next few days in order to defend its interests and rights."
Ruz is also investigating former Barca president Sandro Rosell, who stepped down from his role after it was revealed that 40m euros from the deal to take Neymar to the Nou Camp had been paid to a firm operated by the player's father, who has been called to testify at the court.
In January, Barca member Jordi Cases alleged that the amount the club paid for Neymar was greater than the 57.1m euros stated at the time and that Rosell had misappropriated funds.
The club subsequently revealed that the amount paid for Neymar was 86.2m euros following the revoking of a confidentiality agreement with the player's father.
Barca director Raul Sanllehi stated the transfer on its own had cost 57.1m euros including 17.1m to Santos and 40m as a "compensation fee" paid to the company owned by Neymar's parents.
However, he also detailed other payments around the transfer such as a signing bonusof 10m euros and various other fees paid to the family that took the total cost to 86.2m.

Okay, this goes nowhere. Bye-bye, thread.
As for punishments, I need to properly look through this thread and think about things, but probably not before the Basel match is over. Better hope for a good result for Basel and a clean sheet for Yann Sommer...
