A case
relating to a complaint regarding the striker's summer switch to Camp Nou will
continue after the prosecutor flagged up irregularities in the deal.
Barcelona
president Sandro Rosell could find himself in court after a criminal case
investigating the signing of Neymar from Santos in the summer revealed the
Brazilian's contract may be fake.
The
Blaugrana were forced to hand over a dossier detailing the financial elements
of the attacker's €57.1 million move, after club socio Jordi Cases made an
official complaint last year.
Rosell
had hoped the complaint would be thrown out, but the investigation has flagged
up irregularities in the deal and the Attorney General of the National High
Court has requested further contractual documents as the case continues.
Presecutor
Jose Perals has asked for all the relevant documentation in the transfer and
could call upon Barca auditors to provide evidence in the investigation, which
is looking to establish the whereabouts of the €40 million not received by
Santos (with the Brazilian side receiving €17.1m in their share of the deal).
"The
contracts that have been signed between the parties do not, at times,
correspond to that which is specified within them," the prosecutor's
report revealed on Friday, adding that "the contracts signed may have been
faked to alter the concept of the payments."
Barca
maintain they have done nothing wrong in the transfer, although the Catalan
club have been unable to specify exactly who received what.
Meanwhile,
one of the third-party owners, supermarket group DIS, claim they received only
a small percentage of what they were owed as their part of the deal.
