The limelight always seems to find its way to Neymar. But this time, it casts a shadow of controversy and doubt over the Brazilian superstar. Amidst settling into a new life in Saudi Arabia, the player finds himself in an unexpected legal battle. The negative spotlight has centered on him as he faces a staggering $3,280,000 lawsuit for alleged environmental violations.

It has been a month since the former PSG star moved to the Gulf Country. While Neymar’s family continues to settle in, his pregnant girlfriend has shared some complaints about their new place.

Neymar recently had to return to his home country for a court hearing. The Brazilian soccer star was involved in a legal dispute with the Mangaratiba municipality to cancel fines of $3.28 million, imposed on his mansion in the city due to environmental concerns. The issue arose from construction work related to an artificial lake on his property. Initially, Neymar had obtained a favorable injunction in his favor. However, the city hall appealed and successfully reversed the initial decision. 

Neymar’s legal team claimed that there were mistakes in the violation notices. They argued that the player had acted in good faith when he transformed a concrete lake into a swimming pool. They also asserted that the case had been initiated without proper evidence and in a frivolous manner, likely because of his fame and the expectation of media attention. As per UOL and translated by DeepL, Neymar’s attorneys claim that “a mere renovation of a swimming pool would not be capable of such a fine from the municipal body.” 

Furthermore, his legal team insists there was no proof to confirm any environmental risk associated with the swimming pool work. “The municipality is based on assumptions and images cut from Reels videos on social media, which are edited and cannot substantiate, in the slightest, what happened at the scene”, argue the soccer veteran’s lawyers. As of now, the case is ongoing. Let’s see what the decision comes out to be.

Meanwhile, the Brazilian soccer legend’s pregnant girlfriend is encountering challenges in adjusting to life in Saudi Arabia.

Neymar’s beloved girlfriend, Bruna Biancardi, recently highlighted a significant issue in the capital city as she showcased a tour of the area. She specifically pointed out the problem of traffic.

While taking a tour outside the city, she remarked, “The heat, really, is to kill!”. While wearing short clothes is an option, Biancardi is constrained by the country’s societal norms, which don’t favor such attire. Certainly, there are some impediments to the couple’s stay in Riyadh. Hopefully, Neymar’s mouth-watering contract can make up for all the predicament they are facing.
