This
is not really the best of time for Barcelona strar and Brazil
international, Neymar Santos Jr. as the football wizkid might lose
focus in his career if the information at our disposal is anything to
go by. Neymar, National Enquirer gathered has just been slammed by
the Brazillian authority for tax invasion.
According
to information, a federal court in the state of Sao Paulo has taken
action against Barcelona star who has been accused of tax invasion
back in his homeland and now, we gathered the
Barcelona forward Neymar has
had his assets frozen in his country.
The
24-year-old is facing charges of tax evasion between 2011 and 2013,
but has denied any wrongdoing. The federal court in the state of Sao
Paulo has intervened to block £34.5 million worth of his assets,
however, with a yacht, a jet, properties and three companies
belonging to his family all affected.
The authorities have ordered Neymar, who is accused of setting up companies as a means of paying a lower rate of tax, to hand over £11 million - the figure he is said to owe.

"He
can still appeal the decision, but it is a step forward," said
Iagaro Jung Martins, an auditor with the federal tax agency. "If
he pays what he owes, the case is closed. Our legislation isn't too
harsh."
Neymar
is also facing allegations of corruption and fraud in Spain, an issue
that relates to his transfer from Santos to Barcelona in 2013.
