• Courts: The woman who accuses Neymar of rape loses her third lawyer

The Brazilian Prosecutor’s Office asked Justice on Thursday to file, for lack of evidence, the investigation against the Neymar striker initiated from a complaint of violation presented by a model, official sources reported.

"I will not say that I am happy, but relieved," wrote the Paris Saint-Germain footballer on his Instagram account. It will be "a chapter I will never forget", mainly because of "the damage caused to me, my family and those who really know me," he added.

The Public Prosecutor of the State of Sao Paulo followed the thesis defended by the Civil Police and decided not to file criminal charges against the footballer of Paris Saint-Germain "for not having sufficient evidence of what was declared by the victim . "

Now it will be a trial judge who will decide in the next few days whether or not to close the case, which could be reopened at any time, if new evidence appears. "Following the analysis of the case, we came to the conclusion of opting for the police investigation file in which the defendant, Neymar, was being denounced for the practice of rape," prosecutor Flávia Merlini, of the group specialized in cases of sexist violence.

"For all the elements collected and for the contradictions existing in the police investigation, we conclude to request the case file. It is not possible to know what happens within four walls. It is her word against his" , he added.

Merlini said that all medical awards "did not verify any bodily injury" in the complainant, except for a wound on the finger she suffered during a fight with Neymar one day after the alleged violation, as reported in a leaked video to the media . "All the circumstantial evidence collected was in contradiction with what was alleged by the victim," said the prosecutor.

For his part, prosecutor Estefania Paulin said that "they understand that there was a relationship of affection between the parties," although it was "quick" and "at first virtual", and insisted that "they did not have enough evidence to present a complaint "before the Justice.

However, Merlini recalled that the investigation can be "reopened at any time", as long as "new proceedings take place or new evidence arises," so the file or not of the case by the judge on duty "does not mean an acquittal of the investigated . "

Prosecutors commented that the woman who filed the complaint, identified as Najila Trindade and who gave several interviews to the media, mentioned that she had evidence of the alleged violation in some videos she had on her mobile phone , which refused to hand over Police and then said they stole it.

In the event that the judge ignores the request of the Prosecutor and the Police, the investigation will continue open and will be transferred to the Attorney General of Sao Paulo.

In the complaint, filed on May 31 at a police station in Sao Paulo, the model accused Neymar of having raped her in a hotel in Paris on May 15.

For his part, Neymar pleaded not guilty in an interrogation with the Police , acknowledged that he had sex with the woman who accused him, but consented. The forward also had to testify before the justice in Rio de Janeiro for an alleged cybercrime that he could have committed by posting conversations and photos on his social networks that was exchanged with the model.
