Neymar faces a new scandal: receives a million-dollar fine for illegal construction

RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil- The Brazilian municipality of Mangaratiba announced Monday that it has fined soccer player Neymar for some works he has done at his beach house in that city in the state of Rio de Janeiro and which were suspended by the environmental authorities.

The fine was set at $3.3 million and refers to the construction of an artificial lake in the large gardens of the residence, where the Brazilian and French PSG player rests these days.

Two weeks ago, the residence was visited by the environmental authorities, who discovered various irregularities, seized the works and prohibited the use of the lake, a decision that Neymar later failed to comply with, according to videos posted online with images of a party he gave a few days later. .

Among the irregularities detected are the diversion of the course of some streams, the unauthorized collection of water from a river, prohibited excavations, irregular movement of rocks and earth, and the use of sand from the beach near the house.

The works were being carried out in the Aero Rural condominium, neighboring Portobello, where the player has another luxurious mansion of more than 5,000 square feet.

The Brazilian star and who is part of the trident at PSG sent an emotional message to his teammate Lionel Messi.
