According to media reports, the footballer wanted one regardless of the corona pandemic lavish party in his luxury property celebrate in the state of Rio de Janeiro. The public prosecutor’s office urged him to urgently clarify “the number of guests, the organization of the party and possible health measures”. The 28-year-old’s lawyers had already disputed on Mondaythat such a large celebration was planned.
“Nice, moderate dinner”
A few hours before the turn of the year, Neymar then published a video on Instagram that showed a long board. It seemed to be set for about 40 guests. The video should prove that he is not planning a big party with hundreds of people. The attacker spoke of a dinner with family and friends. He also emphasized that distance between the guests was maintained and that every guest had been tested for the corona virus. Neymar had already put video recordings of himself and his nine-year-old son online. In doing so, he carried out – according to him – the “50th test” for the corona virus.
Brazilian newspapers reported at the weekend that the footballer wanted to celebrate the turn of the year with up to 500 guests over several days in his villa in Mangaratiba in the state of Rio de Janeiro. The superstar of the French serial master Paris St. Germain was then hit by criticism.
Celebrating in private homes is not prohibited in Rio
According to media reports, special noise protection devices are said to have been installed in Neymar’s villa so that the neighbors are not bothered by his New Year’s Eve party. It is also planned to temporarily confiscate the guests’ cell phones at the entrance so that no material from the celebration is spread over the Internet.
Despite the corona restrictions in place in Brazil, such a party would not be illegal, as the state of Rio de Janeiro has not banned celebrations in private apartments. Brazil is one of the worst hit countries in the world by the pandemic.
