Ney's ex-girlfriend Vucelic denies she was arrested for breaking lockdown rules

A PLAYBOY model who had a fling with Neymar has been forced to deny she was arrested over breaking lockdown rules.

Soraja Vucelic and her mate were reportedly detained by police on Sunday in the small town of Zhabljak in northern Montenegro after visiting a cottage.

Croatian model Vucelic had been keeping her followers entertained with a series of lockdown workout videos.

But local media report how the 33-year-old decided to head for a change of scenery before police were "tipped-off."

A police spokesperson said: "Acting on a tip-off, we visited a cottage in Borje (village) where we found two women.

“They did not have permits exempting them from lockdown and both were deprived of their liberty and will face criminal charges carried out by the prosecutor general of the Basic State Prosecutor's Office.”

However, despite the reported police statement, Vucelic, who reportedly had a brief fling with Paris Saint-Germain forward Neymar in 2014, denied that she was in hot water with the authorities.

She told reporters: “I was not arrested, as it was written by the media, I only had a conversation with the police with my friend.

“We both travelled in her car and she didn’t have any papers with her and she also forgot her driver’s licence.

“The biggest problem was that the car had Italian licence plates, but everything is solved now. There is no need to make a big deal in the media about it.”

Vucelic started modelling at the age of 19 and was crowned the Serbian Playboy’s Playmate of the Year in 2011.

The brunette beauty also studied psychology at the University of Belgrade Faculty of Philosophy in the Serbian capital.
