In France, an investigation was launched into the transfer of the Brazilian Neymar to Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) in 2017. Liberation became aware of this.
According to the source, former PSG public relations director Jean-Marial Ribes, who could have influenced the former vice-president of the French Assembly Hugues Renson, is suspected of corruption. It is noted that Ribes asked for tax benefits to complete the deal for the football player.
