Neymar, Barca, Santos To Stand Trial On Corruption Charges After Losing Appeals

FC Barcelona player Neymar and his club will stand trial on corruption charges over his transfer from Brazilian team Santos FC, after losing a final appeal.

The case relates to a complaint from Brazilian investment group DIS, which owned 40 per cent of Neymar’s transfer rights. It claims it received less money than it was entitled to when Neymar joined Barca from Santos for £49 million in 2013.

Santos FC, Neymar’s mother, and a company run by the 25-year-old footballer’s parents will also face charges.

“Santos FC, FC Barcelona, Neymar, his mother Nadine Goncalves and N&N, the family company, have lost their appeals to have charges of fraud and corruption dropped,” the Spanish High Court said in a statement on Monday.

Prosecutors are seeking a two-year prison sentence and a fine of nearly £8 million for Neymar.

However, even if the Brazil international wAS found guilty he would be unlikely to go to jail. Under the Spanish legal system, prison terms of under two years are typically suspended. Prosecutors are also seeking a fine of about £7.2 million for FC Barcelona and £5.6 million for Santos.

Barca thought they had brought the affair to a close when a judge archived the case in June. But Spain’s public prosecutor successfully overturned the ruling in September, allowing the case to proceed.

Neymar’s FC Barcelona team-mate Lionel Messi was sentenced to 21 months in prison for tax fraud in July of last year.
He has since appealed against the sentence.

Mourinho Shares His Thought Over Chelsea vs Man U Clash After The FA Cup Draw [Read]

Manchester United, who recently booked their place in the FA Cup quarter-finals after defeating Blackburn Rovers with a 2-1 margin, will be facing Chelsea next month.

United’s manager Jose Mourinho fears that Chelsea may go full hyper in their FA Cup quarter-final clash as they’ve “already won the Premier League title”.

“Probably Chelsea can only think about that [the FA Cup] because I think they are champions and they have nothing else to fight for,” the manager said after the victory at Ewood Park.

Chelsea, who is 12 points ahead of Manchester United in the Premier League, looks to be the title holder of the tough and arduous league.

“The FA Cup is something I believe is important for them. I have to play St-Etienne [on Wednesday], I have to play the final, I have to play hopefully another opponent in the Europa League. I have to fight for a top-four position in the Premier League. I have so many things to think about, said Mourinho as he conveyed the fact that his hands were full and that Chelsea’s were not.

The Red Devils will face Southampton in the EFL Cup final on February 26.

Barcelona Considering Shock Bid For Southampton’s Right-Back Cedric Soares

Barcelona are eyeing a shock move for Southampton right-back Cedric Soares in the summer transfer window, The Telegraph reports.

The Catalan side have struggled to find a suitable replacement since Dani Alves departed, with the Euro 2016 winner said to fit in with the Barcelona style.

Sergi Roberto is yet to stake his claim as a bona-fide successor to Alves, and the Daily Telegraph reports that Cedric has been included on Barca’s shortlist of potential replacements.

The 25-year-old joined Southampton for less than £5m in 2015 and last summer signed a new contract that keeps him at the club until 2020 having helped Portugal to Euro 2016 glory.

The Saints are unlikely to consider bids of less than £15m, with uncertainty already surrounding the futures of in-demand defensive duo Virgil van Dijk and Ryan Bertrand.

Femi Adebayo Salami: My 1st Marriage Crashed Because My Ex-Wife Didn’t Like My Career

The Nollywood actor who married a new wife late last year exactly 7 years after he parted ways with his first wife has spoken up on what led to the crash of his first marriage.

The Jelili star who spoke happily about his new wife, Omotayo Sanusi said his first wife, Khadijat crashed his first marriage because she was not comfortable with his acting career.

While regretting the crash of his first marriage which produced three children, the actor praised his new wife for being so supportive.

His recent chat with Sunday Scoop:

I don’t like talking about my marriage because I have the right to my privacy. Even though I am a celebrity, and lots of people always want to know what’s going on with me, my fans understand why I have decided to shield my wife from public glare.
But I can tell you that I am really enjoying my marriage and it is pure bliss. I was without a wife for seven years and you know what that means for a man, but now, I am happy that I made the right decision.

“When it comes to marriage, it is important to be with someone who understands you and accepts you totally.

My first wife was uncomfortable with my profession as an actor, but that is what I love doing. Acting gives me joy and I will continue doing it as long as I can.

I cannot imagine myself doing anything else without being miserable. I studied Law but I am not practicing it and that should tell you that I am following my passion.”

Buhari Deserves Rest And Should Be Allowed – Gov. Fayose

Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has said politicians should allow President Muhammadu Buhari to enjoy his rest and stop disturbing him with needless visits.

The governor spoke on a live programme tagged, ‘Meet Your Governor’ aired on the state-owned Ekiti Television and Radio Stations on Saturday.

Fayose, while praying for sound health for the president, said his desire for a better Nigeria accounted for why he had been criticising the Federal Government when things were not done the right way.

‎He explained that he had stopped criticising the president since he travelled abroad for medical attention because anyone could fall sick and the president should be allowed to enjoy his rest.

“I don’t have any problem with the president; the only problem I have is with his handlers. They will say something today and say another tomorrow. Anybody can fall sick.

“I have not been criticising the president because he is sick. When he comes back and he is not doing the right thing, we will continue to criticise him,” he said.

Describing the visits by some All Progressives Congress chieftains to the president as a make-belief and too much of eye service, Fayose said it would not have been necessary if the people knew the truth from the onset.

“It is God that gives power to whoever He wills. As humans, we can fall sick. But people should allow him to rest.

“Some people are visiting him to convince people that he is well; that is a make-belief and too much of eye-service.”
