Prosecutors seek two-year prison sentence for Neymar

Spanish prosecutors have requested a two-year prison sentence and a €10 million fine for Barcelona star Neymar over alleged corruption surrounding his transfer from Santos in 2013.

The same sentence and fine has also been requested for Neymar s father, as well as a one-year prison sentence and €10m fine for his mother.

Former Barca president Sandro Rosell, meanwhile, faces a two-year term and a €10m fine if found guilty of corruption, as well as a three-year sentence for alleged fraud.

Current Barca president Josep Maria Bartomeu has provisionally been exonerated of any wrongdoing by the prosecutor, who has asked for the case against the 53-year-old to be closed.

Barca could be handed a €1.44m fine for corruption and an additional €7m penalty for fraud.

Santos are also facing being docked €7m for fraud.

The case stems from a complaint by investment group DIS, which owned 40 per cent of Neymar s economic rights and claims it received less money than it was entitled to following the Brazil international s transfer.
