Neymar and FC Barcelona were accused of concealing the Brazilian’s real transfer fees

Barcelona was slapped with a transfer ban in 2015 for violating international transfer rules for under-age players. Not only that, it is widely believed they concealed the real transfer amount when they signed Neymar as well.

While the rumours have been rife since the move in 2013, a national court in Spain opened a case regarding the matter only in September this year after many accusations of corruption, tax evasion and other unseemly activities.

As of this week, both Barcelona and Neymar have been slapped with fines worth millions over his transfer from Santos and the Brazilian forward could face up to two years in prison.
