Neymar claims in trial that he signed the documents his father asked for

“My father always took care of contract negotiations. I sign what he asks”, said Neymar when asked questioned by the Prosecutor's Office, which accuses him of corruption and asks for two years in prison for the player, in addition to paying a fine of 10 million euros.

Initially scheduled for a later date, the national team's number 10's testimony at the Barcelona Hearing was brought forward to this Tuesday at the request of his lawyers, who claimed that the attacker should play for PSG on Friday (French championship) and next Tuesday (Champions League).

He will not need to return to the trial in person, but it is possible that he will have to speak again until the end of the process, on October 31, via videoconference.

On Monday, the defense of Neymar, who from November 20th will lead the Brazilian team at the World Cup in Qatar, obtained authorization for the attacker and his parents, who were also being prosecuted, to leave the court for a few hours during the initial hearing.

The reason? The player was tired after playing a match on Sunday night, when he scored the winning goal for PSG against Olympique Marseille in the French championship.
