Judge Pablo Ruz said in his decision, released on Thursday, Feb. 20, 2014 there was enough evidence to merit charges over Neymar's 57 million-euro (then $77 million) move from Santos last summer. Thursday's decision comes a day after public prosecutor Jose Perals charged Barcelona with fabricating simulated contracts and using &quot;financial engineering&quot; to defraud the Spanish Treasury. Barcelona has denied the charges. (AP Photo/Manu Fernandez, File)
