Neymar arrives at Brazilian police station after being accused of rape – as it emerges Instagram model, 26, who made allegations ‘was handed £5,000 fine over unpaid rent hours before making claims’.
Najila Trindade Mendes de Souza, 26, has accused Neymar of raping her.
According to Brazilian news website GP1, De Souza was ordered to pay a debt of 26,712 Brazilian Reais (£5,000) on May 14 - just one day before she came forward with the rape allegations.
The fine was imposed because of unpaid rent and was said to have been comprised of three months rent and legal fees.
De Souza, who is believed to work as a model and Instagram influencer, was also reportedly served with an eviction order by the court.
Other media outlets in Brazil also claimed she is currently engaged in a court case with the Pan American School of Arts who sued her over a debt of 4,160 Reais (£800).
But De Souza claims she is not trying to extort any money from the footballer, who earns a reported salary of £620,000 per week.
'For my part, there was no extortion. I want justice, not financial compensation,' she told SBT during the TV interview.
