The Brazilian has once again protested his innocence but insists his current off-field legal issues do
not bother him and he is confident everything will be resolved soon.
Barcelona and Brazilian star Neymar has voiced dismay with his treatment he is getting from
sections of the media following his involvement in a number of legal cases, insisting he is not a
"criminal". The attacker's transfer from Santos to Camp Nou in 2013 has been the subject of legal
cases in Spain and Brazil, with Neymar and his father being accused of tax evasion.
During the investigation, the federal court of Sao Paulo ordered assets belonging to the Barcelona
and Brazilian forward to the tune of just under €45 million to be frozen in February.
Barcelona agreed in June to pay a fine of €5.5m in order to close legal proceedings in Spain, but the
case in Sao Paulo remains open.
Neymar is confident the matter will be resolved soon, though, insisting he is innocent….
"My father deals with everything outside of the pitch and I have complete confidence in him. I am
lucky to have my father looking after those things, working at my side, so I can focus on playing
football."
"I have not done anything wrong. I'm not a criminal," Neymar told Isto E.
"Unfortunately, some people are always trying to create controversy. I do not know whether they do
not have the right information or if they have bad intentions. But it doesn't matter.
"The truth is that I'm sure everything will be resolved soon. These matters do not disturb me.
