Brazil court charges Neymar Jr. with tax evasion with $1.2million fine




An appeals court in Brazil has fined Neymar 3.8 million Brazilian reales ($1.19m) for acting in "bad faith" regarding his attempts to delay a tax evasion case.

The parents of the PSG and Brazil international as well as three companies that administer the player's portfolio have all been fined, according to judicial sources.
The ruling was given on Tuesday in a regional federal tribunal in Brazil regarding a case that was examined by the justice department in September 2015 and resulted in the player's assets of 192.7m Brazilian reales ($62.2m) being seized to guarantee the payment of the taxes owed.
The amount of the fine corresponds to two percent of the value that the Brazil Tax Office intends to get from Neymar for tax evasion and fines.
