Neymar's team NR Sport, run by his parents, have released an official statement to dismiss the reports accusing him of raping.
> Official News Release
A news article was released today, a few hours ago, regarding the Athlete Neymar Jr., on charges of rape.
The alleged victim, inclusively, registered a Police Report, widely informed in the press.
Although he was surprised by the news of the Police Report, the facts were already known to the Athlete and his staff, considering that a few days ago he was a victim of attempted extortion, practiced by a lawyer from the city of Sao Paulo, who, according to his version, represented the interests of the alleged victim.
The athlete’s lawyers were immediately notified and have since day one taken all appropriate steps. Faced with the unfortunate, illegal and outrageous event, we completely repudiate the unjust accusations and, above all, the exposure in the press of an extremely negative situation.
All evidence of the attempted extortion and non-rape shall be submitted to the Police Authority in a timely manner. NR Sports press
