Neymar and Barcelona have been acquitted of fraud and corruption by a Spanish court after being accused of intentionally hiding the value of his transfer to the Catalan giants nine years ago.
Brazilian company DIS had accused Neymar, his father, and the former presidents of Santos and Barcelona of intentionally changing the cost of his 2013 transfer to avoid paying the company what it claimed was due as the partial holder of player rights.
But the court said in a statement on Tuesday morning that “it has not been proven that there was a false contract or that DIS was intended to be harmed."
