On Wednesday afternoon, reports surfaced that a prosecutor for the Spanish High Court had called for Barça to be named official suspect for tax fraud related to signing of Neymar, a situation that continued to plague the club over the past two months, even resulting the resignation of former president Sandro Rosell.
Barcelona immediately issued an statement, defending the summer transfer of Neymar from Santos to the Catalan side.
In light of reports appearing in today’s press concerning the transfer process carried out to bring Neymar da Silva Santos Junior to the Club, FC Barcelona would like to state:
1) The Club’s dealings with respect to this operation, and in light of all information available, was at all times in line with the relevant legal legislation
2) Represented by its lawyers, the Club will appear at the Jutjat Central d’Instrucció number 5 within the next few days in order to defend its interests and rights.
3) We express our total willingness to collaborate with the Justice authorities in this matter, as we have done since the first moment the issue arose and in any other area in which our presence may be required.
