The special accusation brought by the Brazilian DIS company, reduced the sentence of player Neymar, who transferred from Santos to FC Barcelona in 2013, from five years in prison to two years and six months, for interpersonal corruption. However, he claims that he was barred from practicing his profession during his sentence. This discount also applies to other defendants. Special, Sandro Rosell and Josep Maria Bartomeu, former presidents of Barça, were also sentenced to five years in prison, reduced to four months in the first, two and six months in the second.

The father of the Carioca star, Neymar da Silva, is seeking four years in prison for Santos and a 57m euro fine for Barça. Neymar’s mother was acquitted by withdrawing the charge. And only in a secondary way, that is, if the judges do not find the main charge credible, did they introduce Santos and to former director Odilio Rodrigues. As has happened since the second session of the trial two weeks ago, neither the actress nor her parents have appeared due to court-issued permission. In the case of a striker, so that he can play the matches and train.

The special prosecutor’s office was left alone in the charges. Last Friday, prosecutor Luis García Cantón dropped charges against those accused of corruption between individuals and fraud in the ‘DIS case’ or ‘Neymar 2 case’, from the Brazilian actor, his father and mother to the former presidents of Barça Sandro Rosell. and Josep Maria Bartomeu, as well as Santos, Odilio Rodrigues and the former president of two clubs. The public accusation argues that the defendants did not commit any crime or simulate any contract because the case was not based on evidence based on “even circumstantial” but rather “assumptions”. In addition to disqualification and fines of between three and ten million, the prosecution sought two years in prison for Neymar and up to five years in prison for the other defendants.

disagreement with the prosecutor

At the final session of the case this Monday, the lawyer for the special prosecution conducted by the DIS company argued in his final report why they continued the charges against the defendants and argued not only for the existence of a crime, but also for its dispute. With the amendment made by the prosecutor’s office, which demanded prison sentences for all the accused initially and temporarily.

After the intervention of a lawyer in DIS companies and a second accusation on behalf of a Brazilian football association, it will be the turn of the defenses, including Barça. And finally, before the trial is seen for sentencing, the accused have the opportunity to intervene in what is called the last word. For this, video conferences are planned with Paris and Brazil in the example of Neymar.

Allegedly, Sandro Rosell, then Barcelona president, began negotiations to sign Neymar in 2011, when he played for Santos. The maximum Barça president at the time and the Brazilian striker’s father, who represented his son, agreed that Barça would pay the player 40 million and receive an advance 10 million to get him signed in 2014, when he was released from Santos. Provided that if Neymar violates the agreement, he will return the money. In 2013, Barça signed another deal with Santos for a preferential option to buy three players for 7.9 million. The suspicion is that this contract, like others signed for the celebration of friendly matches, is linked to the signing of Neymar. According to them, the reason was not to pay the corresponding percentage of the DİŞ company.
