The agreement to end the legal proceedings triggered by a
complaint from 'socio' Jordi Cases was ratified early on Wednesday, according
to the Club. Barcelona have announced that the provincial court has closed a
case against Neymar. Cases had alleged misappropriation of funds and a lack of
transparency over Neymar transfer to Camp Nou from Santos in 2013, though the
Spanish high court threw out the case earlier this year.
The ratification of the agreement has been signed
together
with the public prosecutor’s Office and the state Attorney's office. This
Wednesday, the legal representative of FC Barcelona ratified the conclusions of
the procedure in relation to the transfer of the player Neymar Jr at the
headquarters of the Provincial Court of Barcelona a club statement read.
This agreement will be approved in the ruling that is soon
to be released by the provincial court of Barcelona, which will close the
process that began following the complaint made by club socio jordi Cases
before the National Court in December 2013.
The case was closed after Barcelona accepted liability and
agree to pay a fine of €5.5 million,which exonerated former president Sandro
Rosell and successor Josep Maria Bartomeu and drew criticism from Joan Laporta,
who was president between 2003 and 2010.
In November, Spanish prosecutors requested a two-year prison
sentence and a €10m fine for the player and his father, who acts as his agent,
as well as a custodial sentence for Rosell. In September, LaLiga officials
demanded a hearing with the club in order to make the details of the
out-of-court settlement clear. A separate case involving Brazilian investment
group DIS is ongoing.
The company, which owned 40 per cent of Neymar's
economic rights prior to his transfer, claim they are entitled to far more than
the reported €6.8m they received as part of the deal.
