A Spanish court has charged Spanish league champion Barcelona with tax fraud of euro 9.1 million ($12.5 million) over the transfer of Brazil forward Neymar. Judge Pablo Ruz said in his decision, released on Thursday, Feb. 20, 2014 there was enough evidence to merit charges over Neymar's 57 million-euro (then $77 million) move from Santos last summer. Thursday's decision comes a day after public prosecutor Jose Perals charged Barcelona with fabricating simulated contracts and using &quot;financial engineering&quot; to defraud the Spanish Treasury. Barcelona has denied the charges. (AP Photo/Manu Fernandez, File)
