And what is the point? The board gave them the opportunity to do so. Media is doing what media have been doing for decades. Nothing new or special. It's this board's failures which have enabled them to do so.
No one will go to jail or nothing major is gonna come out of this. A slap on the wrist if they're found guilty(big fine I guess) and the case will be done and dusted.
Lately, a club from Ligue 2 was demoted to amateur league because they were charged with one game fraud.
They were judged on the fact that they sent lots of Bordeaux wine as payment
Here you would laugh, but here that's how it is.
Marseille is the biggest case however. Despite winning the CL, they got demoted to amateur league in the past because of one game fraud with the club of Valencienne.
Marseille is facing the same fate right now for the same shaddy deal as neymar's here.
Last week, Marseille Boss was brought to police again for questionning about shaddy transfers deals.
Thats correct that the media are only highlighting the problem but do people take that attitude when the Madrid press attack the Messi camp for not paying his taxes? Are his team called corrupt and guilty of destroying his reputation and potentially putting him behind bars.
So many hypocrites - when the media expose things people dont like then it is 'Franco Govt', 'Madrid bias' ect. Yet when the same media expose things that people like then this is suddenly the honest media exposing the wrong doings.
Who's saying anything about honest media? It's the usual spanish media, but they're not to blame for rosell's fuck ups. Really funny how deep you're willing to go to defend rosell and barto.
Nothing is different here in France. Marseille is facing right now the same penalties as in the past if found guilty about shaddy transfers deals.Those situations are different from clubs trying to avoid paying tax, you have highlighted instances of match fixing which gets treated differently.
They are two totally different scenarios.
Any instances of the French teams being demoted due to not paying tax?

It can range from a fine and people going to prison, to the club being demoted or even disolved.
Marseille is facing a big risk of being demoted. It's France, we are not forgiving. You can even be disolved if you have debts.
what is actually going to happen?
Loads of clubs have been found to be avoiding tax in past - a lot of Spanish teams and big English teams like Arsenal and Chelsea. Almost all have been found to not technically broke the law so no criminal charges but they have payed the tax back.
If anything different happens to Barca then it will be quite unique.
Not blaming media but there are forces out there trying to get the club and treat them differently. Just look at the way the tax issues of Messi and Cassilas were handled.
Bartomeu hired a new criminal lawyer, Gonzalez Franco.

That's not what rosell did. He tried to operate inside of the account limits the socis voted, so the money spent would be within that limit. But it was impossible, without using next window transfer money too. That's what he should had done. But I don't think the socis would be happy with paying 100m for Neymar back then. And Rosell wanted Neymar at Barça at any cost, as he had plenty of intere$t to do so.
