“Profits Signed Gérald”. This is how Manon Aubry, LFI MEP, titled a video published on her account X (formerly Twitter) in which she returns to the new affair revealed in the columns of Mediapart. Indeed, the online media claimed that an alleged financial arrangement had allowed PSG to avoid paying additional taxes, during the record transfer of Neymar in 2017. A maneuver carried out with the approval of Gérald Darmanin, then minister of Action and Public Accounts.
“He (Gérald Darmanin) used his position and his power as minister to allow Paris Saint-Germain not to pay between 67 and 224 million in taxes and social security contributions at the time of Neymar’s transfer. I don’t know if Paris is magical but it’s rather Gérald Darmanin who is magical in making the taxes paid by PSG disappear, which obviously looks a little better at tax evasion than in the Champions League.she said this weekend.
