Neymar’s assets frozen
Print Edition
BRAZILIAN authorities have blocked assets of Barcelona star Neymar, including a yacht, a jet and several properties worth almost US$50 million.
A Sao Paulo federal court rejected an appeal from the Brazilian striker last week and started issuing warrants to freeze the assets worth 192 million reals (almost US$50 million), Brazilian media reported on Monday.
Last year, Neymar, his family and related businesses were found guilty of evading 63 million reals in taxes (almost US$16 million) between 2011 and 2013 when he was playing for Brazilian club Santos. He has denied any wrongdoing.
The 23-year-old Neymar used the jet to travel to Brazil for World Cup qualifying matches and holidays.
The assets seizure is the latest in a streak of bad news for the Brazilian star off the pitch.
On February 2, Neymar and his father were questioned for three hours in a Madrid court about the player’s transfer to Barcelona.
