Neymar’s transfer from FC Barcelona to world-record Paris Saint-Germain in 2017 is under investigation by French authorities, according to Mediapart.
The outlet reported that earlier this week the Justice Ministry conducted a search of the Public Treasury in Paris as part of an investigation to determine whether the $242 million ($222 million) deal had gone to alleged tax benefits.
Mediapart said that police officers from the Central Office to Fight Corruption and Tax Fraud are carrying out the investigation as other sources explained that judges Vincent Lemonier and Serge Tournaire are also in charge of the operation that got underway in 2022.
It is worth noting the alleged involvement in the measure of PSG’s director of communication at the time of the operation, Jean-Martial Ribes, and the former vice-president of the National Assembly, Hugues Renson, a member of Parliament during the French presidency of Emmanuel Macron. Party interest to researchers.
In fact, it is suspected that, in the talks between the two, they manoeuvred to obtain tax benefits when PSG bought Neymar.
Neymar left the Catalans when his release clause was activated for the stated amount and played for the league giants until last summer.
In 2023, he joined Saudi Pro League Al-Hilal for a fee of around $98 million (€90 million) according to BBC Sport.
However, the Brazilian is sidelined due to a season-ending injury that he suffered while abroad with his country in October.
As a result, Neymar will miss the Copa America, where the Seleçao will regain the name lost in 2019 to Lionel Messi’s Argentina at the Maracanã a few years later.
But he is expected to be back to match-playing fitness when the 2024/2025 European club season starts again to complete the final 12 months of a two-year contract.
Neymar’s move in 2013 from his childhood club Santos to Barca was also the subject of a criminal investigation that culminated in a trial in October 2022.
However, in December of the same year, the 31-year-old was acquitted of fraud and corruption charges, as were his father, former Barça presidents Josep Maria Bartomeu and Sandro Rosell, and former Santos president Odilio Rodrigues. .
