Not only is he a brutal footballer who drives opponents crazy with his dribbles, he is also a crafty old man off the field. Soccer star Neymar, 31, stole water from a public river in front of his luxury home in Mangaratiba (near Rio de Janeiro) and used it to fill his private pond on his property.

The venture took place years ago, but now authorities have taken notice – because, according to reports from neighbours, they took a closer look at Neymar’s property for the first time. There was a line straight to the superstar’s compound. In addition to the wasted water, the inspectors also found that many building permits were missing. According to Brazilian media, the superstar and his team have just started building.

Millions of fines threatened

“The charges are pending. Now we will assess the violations and then impose a fine that will not be less than one million euros, given the damage caused,” said the Mangaratiba mayor’s office.

When asked by the news portal “AFP”, Neymar has not yet commented on the allegations. When the inspectors arrived at the 10,000-square-foot site, the footballer was not there. Only his father, who then had to answer to the authorities in the town hall and dismissed the whole action as “illegitimate”.

Neymar is currently recovering from surgery on his right ankle that he underwent in Doha in March. He has not played since February 2023. Various rumors point to a departure from PSG. (par)
