Neymar has been slapped with a hefty fine in Brazil for environmental violations.
Neymar has been ordered to pay a $3.3 million fine by a Brazilian judge. The reason? Neymar’s clan constructed an artificial lake on his property in Rio de Janeiro without the required environmental permits. Last week, his father faced some issues with the authorities regarding the same property.
The fine stems from four separate penalties for various environmental violations associated with the project, including unauthorized construction, illegal water extraction from a river, and vegetation removal. Neymar’s clan was caught after complaints were raised on social media. Neymar has 20 days to appeal the verdict.
