Neymar's mother Nadine Goncalves and the family company N&N
also had appeals rejected.
"Santos FC, Barcelona FC, Neymar, his mother Nadine Goncalves
and N&N, the family company, have lost their appeals to have
charges of fraud and corruption dropped," the High Court said in
a statement.
They cannot appeal against the Court's decision.
The case stems from a complaint by Brazilian investment group
DIS, which owned part of Neymar's transfer rights and alleges
that it received less money than it was entitled to when Neymar
joined Barcelona from Santos in 2013.
Investigations were carried out in Spain and Brazil into whether
any part of Neymar's transfer fee had been concealed when he
moved to Barcelona from Santos.
