The Barcelona star has had a yacht, a jet and his properties frozen in Brazil in relation to his ongoing tax problems.
The Brazilian tax authority claim that Neymar owes them a lot of money from his time as a player at Santos.
Neymar, his family and related businesses were found guilty of owing around €14 million in taxes for the period between 2011 and 2013. Neymar had appealed that judgement, but his appeal has recently been denied by the courts.
Iagaro Jung Martins, an auditor with Brazil’s federal tax agency, has told The Associated Press that Neymar won’t face any jail time if he pays his fine:
He can still appeal that decision, but it is a step forward. Nothing changed to what was in place last year: if he pays what he owes, the case is closed. Our legislation isn’t too harsh.
In a separate case, Neymar is also facing tax issues in Spain at the moment related to his move from Santos to Barcelona.
