Neymar has no longer been a PSG player since last summer, and yet his name continues to pop up regularly in our regions. Particularly because of his transfer to PSG, in 2017. A resounding transfer, with the clause of €222 million lifted by QSI to snatch him from FC Barcelona, for an amount never equaled since. But was all this done within the rules of French taxation? Mediapart revealed that Gérald Darmanin, then Minister of Public Accounts, would have favored the capital club by allowing it not to pay taxes on this transfer.
Exactly, Mediapart states this morning that a search was carried out on Monday at the Ministry of Finance by police officers from the Central Office for the Fight against Corruption and Tax Fraud (Oclciff) of the National Directorate of the Judicial Police, precisely in the premises of the General Directorate of Public Finances (DGFiP), following these revelations. Are also affected by the accusations of Mediapart Jérôme Fournel, then Darmanin’s chief of staff, and Hugues Renson, former vice-president of the National Assembly and declared supporter of PSG.
