Neymar to stand trial on corruption charges after losing appeal

Neymar will stand trial on corruption charges related to his transfer to Barcelona four years ago.

Neymar has lost his final appeal and will stand trial on corruption charges related to his transfer to Barcelona four years ago.

Barcelona, Brazilian club Santos and the company run by his parents also lost their appeals and will stand trial after a complaint brought by a Brazilian investment group which alleged it received a smaller compensation because part of the transfer fee was concealed by those involved.
