Neymar has been fined 1.19m dollars (3.8m Brazilian reales) for attempting to delay a tax evasion case. The PSG forward's companies who manage him and his parents have also been fined by the court on Tuesday.

Neymar has been accused of not paying full taxes between 2011 and 2013, and those accusations led to the player's assets being seized, assets worth a total of 62 million US dollars.
