Madrid: Prosecutors have appealed a judge's decision to shelve a fraud case against Neymar and his father in relation to the player's 2013 transfer to Barcelona.

A week ago a judge ruled that irregularities in the high-profile transfer were detected, but said it was an issue for a civil court, not a criminal court to settle.

The Spanish prosecutor explained they felt the judge had not taken into account several documents that could prove fraud between Barcelona and Santos to the detriment of DIS, the Brazilian investment who are the former owners of the rights of the player.

Barcelona originally published the fee in the transfer as 57.1 million euros.
