The Brazilian judiciary opens an investigation into the alleged party for Neymar
The Brazilian judiciary has opened an investigation into the alleged party that the Brazilian star Neymar will organize on New Year’s Day in a luxurious villa he owns on the coast of Rio de Janeiro, the Prosecutor’s office announced.
The public prosecutor of Rio de Janeiro said that he had opened an investigation in this case, after he received "many complaints based on information published by 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 include 150 to 500 guests.
In order to add more mystery to this issue, Neymar published a picture of him with one of his friends, while he was on board a yacht on Santa Catarina Beach in the south of the country.
The public prosecutor asked the star of the Brazilian national team and the French club Paris Saint-Germain and the owner of the villa, in addition to an adjacent apartment complex, to provide him "urgently" with details "about the number of those invited to this party and the health measures taken to hold it."
Agence France-Presse contacted one of Neymar's advisors and announced that he did not know whether the Brazilian star would celebrate New Year's Eve at his luxurious home in Mangaratiba, a tourist city located 130 km from Rio de Janeiro, or if he would stay in Santa Catarina.
The holding of the party in light of the suffering of Brazil from the second largest number of deaths in the world as a result of the emerging Corona virus, where the number exceeded 191 thousand people out of 7.4 million infections, sparked widespread criticism in Brazilian newspapers, describing Neymar's actions as "irresponsible", while some went to Further, when he considered holding a party in such circumstances as a "criminal responsibility."
