After more than four months of investigation, the case Neymar should go back to tinkering with the political environment of Barcelona .According to Catalan radio "Cadena SER," Judge Pablo Ruz considered that the club has committed tax fraud of € 9 million (£ 27.7 million) in the signing of Brazilian striker, due to the divergence between the published values ​​and the amount Real paid to various parties, agreeing with the complaint made ​​by the prosecutor, who took as a basis the total of € 37.9 million (£ 116.8 million) paid by the player - the down payment of € 10 million (£ 30 8 million) in 2011 and the remaining € 27.9 million (£ 86 million) last year

Ruz would have come to the conclusion after receiving a detailed report of the Spanish Tax Agency and must now publish its completion, so that the IRS can hold the club as a legal person, and the former president Sandro Rosell, who resigned in late January just after the suspected fraud became public, claiming that began under threatening. In its place Josep Maria Bartomeu assumed, the current president.

  

 In February, Barcelona came to make an additional payment of € 13.5 million (£ 41.6 million) on revenue - nine months after the hiring.At the time, the club said that the measure was precautionary, the possible interpretations that Justice could have on contracts with the player in an attempt to avoid a heavy fine, trying to make it clear that I was not making a confession of sorts.

In addition, the blaugrana altered the official value of the transfer of the player because of the scandal. When it became public the complaint that the club would be omitting values, the board revealed that, added other items - such as signing bonuses, marketing rights and priority for Santos promises agreement - the price of the player was only € 57.1 million (£ 176 million) to € 86.2 million (£ 265.6 million).

Away from all the controversy, Neymar is currently focused on the Brazilian national team, preparing to compete in the World Cup. The number 10 will be on the field in the friendly against Panama on Tuesday at 16h (GMT), in Goiania.
