Barcelona star Neymar has £31M of assets frozen

Barcelona star Neymar has had his assets frozen in Brazil.

The Mirror says Brazilian authorities have seized assets from Barcelona forward Neymar, worth £31.3million, over unpaid taxes.

Judge Carlos Muta earlier this month took the decision to take the goods, with the Brazilian tax authorities still demanding nearly £11million in undeclared taxes from Neymar's accounts between 2011 and 2013.

The courts have also frozen the accounts of Neymar's father and his companies Neymar Sport & Marketing, N&N Consultancy and N&N Administration of Goods, Participations and Investments.

Brazilian tax authorities believe that the player and his father evaded taxes by declaring the money received during his blockbuster move from Santos to Barcelona in 2013 as being business earnings.
