The Brazilian judiciary has opened an investigation into the alleged party, which the Brazilian star Neymar was planning to organize on New Year's Day in a luxurious villa he owns on the coast of Rio de Janeiro, as the Prosecutor's Office announced.

The Rio public prosecutor said that he had opened an investigation in this case, after he received "many complaints based on information published in the Brazilian newspapers regarding this party organized by the player Neymar", which sparked widespread criticism towards the player.

People close to Neymar denied holding this party, which was reported to have included 150 to 500 guests.
