Neymar Jr.’s father was arrested after illegally building on his son’s home in Rio de Janeiro.
The arrest was made as part of an operation conducted by the Mangaratiba Municipal Environment Department, in collaboration with the Environmental Military Police and agents from the municipality’s Environmental Protection Group.
Before his arrest, Neymar Da Silva Santos was reportedly arguing with Mangaratiba’s secretary of the environment, Shayenne Barreto.
According to the Brazilian news outlet UOL Sport, Neymar Snr was released, but the PSG player’s father was warned that personnel in charge of carrying out the task needed “more education.”
The initial complaint of an environtmental crime, which has been reported to Mangaratiba City Hall, stemmed from a video Neymar Jnr posted to Instagram, which is thought to show an artificial lake that the former Barcelona player is building at his property.
