FOOTBALL : NEYMAR FINED USD $1.2 MILLION FOR TAX EVASION !

The world's most expensive football player - - Neymar Jr. - - had his own fair share of the tax man's sting, the hard way.

He has been slapped with a hefty USD $1.2 Million Dollar fine for tax evasion in his native Brazil.

Apart from Neymar himself, his parents and 3 companies that manage his wealth, were also all fined, reports say.

The Brazilian government accuses Neymar of using legal and corporate tactics to avoid paying correct taxes between 2011 and 2013.

Prosecutors had filed tax evasion charges against Neymar in 2015, his assets worth USD $62 Million seized by the government.

Neymar Jr. became the world's most expensive football player in history when Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) signed him last August for a bank-crashing USD $450 Million.
