Neymar trial collapses after insufficient evidence

Written by on 2 November 2022

The trial of Brazilian football star Neymar for suspected corruption has wrapped up, with all charges dropped.

Judges quashed the case after a seven year investigation into the transfer of the player from the Brazillian club Santos.

Spanish prosecutors had been seeking a two-year prison term and a fine of 10 million euros – however the case was dropped after prosecutors said there was sufficient evidence to show a crime had been committed.
