Is Brazilian model footballer Neymar planning a big New Years Eve party amid the crown pandemic? The authorities are now also concerned about this issue. The Brazilian prosecutor announced on Wednesday that he is investigating media reports that the footballer wants or at least wanted to have a lavish New Year’s Eve party at his luxurious property in the state of Rio de Janeiro, regardless of the pandemic. Neymar’s lawyers denied on Monday that such a large party was planned.
The Prosecutor’s Office urged Neymar to urgently clarify “the number of guests, the organization of the party and possible sanitary measures.”
Brazilian newspapers reported over the weekend that the 28-year-old wanted to celebrate the New Year with 150 or even up to 500 guests over several days at his Mangaratiba villa. There was great outrage over the alleged plans of the Paris Saint-Germain superstar, after all, Brazil is one of the countries in the world most affected by the corona pandemic.
No celebration? Or are there just no photos?
According to media reports, special noise protection devices are said to have been installed in Neymar’s villa so that neighbors are not disturbed by the New Year’s party. It was also planned to temporarily confiscate the cell phones of the guests at the entrance, so that images of the celebration would not be spread on the Internet.
Despite the crown restrictions in force in Brazil, such a party in principle would not be illegal, since the state of Rio de Janeiro has not prohibited celebrations in private apartments.
But what is Neymar really doing at the turn of the year? The professional’s lawyers assure that Neymar only wants to spend New Year’s Eve “with his family, his son and his physiotherapist”; you can be sure that the prosecution will investigate if this really happens.
Neymar himself published a photo on Instagram on Wednesday that shows him on a yacht in Porto Belo, 650 kilometers to the south. The footballer is currently healing a left ankle sprain he suffered during a league game against Olympique Lyonnais just before Christmas.
