Brazilian police said on Thursday they had filed a defamation
suit against the woman who has accused football star Neymar of rape
after she insinuated the force was corrupt.
During an interview with television channel SBT, Najila Trindade
said: “The police are bought, aren’t they? Or am I crazy?”
The police filed a complaint, issuing a statement on Thursday
defending its “absolute transparency, neutrality and
impartiality”.
On Tuesday, Trindade had seen a third lawyer drop her case as
Danilo Garcia de Andrade said he was no longer representing
her.
The lawyer wanted to see the content of a seven-minute video
filmed during the model’s second meeting with the Paris
Saint-Germain star.
Trindade maintains the recording — a few seconds of which have
been leaked on social media — includes conclusive evidence that she
was assaulted.
The accusation against Paris Saint-Germain forward Neymar has
grabbed headlines in Brazil, which is currently hosting the Copa
America, a tournament the 26-year-old is missing due to an ankle
injury.
Trindade filed the complaint against Neymar on May 31, saying he
assaulted her after inviting her to visit him in Paris.
