Brazil charges Neymar with tax evasion

Brazilian authorities charged Barcelona and Brazil star striker Neymar on Tuesday with tax evasion and falsifying documents over a seven-year period.

Neymer and his family have denied any wrongdoing over alleged irregularities in his superstar signing for Barcelona in 2013.

Barcelona valued the transfer at about $62 million, but Spanish authorities believe that it added up to more than 83 million euros.
