2-year jail sought for Barca boss

SPANISH prosecutors are requesting a prison sentence of two years and three months for Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu and seven for his predecessor, Sandro Rosell, over the so-called Neymar affair, sources said yesterday.

The Madrid court is also calling for a fine of 22.2 million euros (US$24.1 million) against the club over the transfer deal which has been the subject of an anti-corruption probe. The two men and the club are charged with tax fraud and Rosell is also accused of accounting irregularities over his time in charge.

Following months of investigation, a Spanish judge must now consider whether the case should go to trial.
