Barcelona presidents testified

Both Barcelona's president, current Josep Maria Bartomeu and former Sandro Rosell testified today regarding irregularities over the transfer of Neymar Jr. They arrived together by answering questions to the National Court judge Jose de la Mata.
Brazilian investment group DIS was entitled to 40% of Neymar Jr. transfer from Santos, but it claims that received smaller compensation than it should have because part of the transfer fee was concealed. Barcelona said that the transfer costed the club 57.1 million euros. Santos officially received 17.1 million euros payment, with the rest 40 million going to a company owned by Neymar Sr. However, later the investigations in Spain showed that the Catalans actually paid nearly 83.3 million euros for the Brazilian. The club and its presidents deny any wrongdoing.
The main man in this case Neymar Jr., together with his agent representative - his father, are expected to be heard on Tuesday.
