Football player Neymar spent five hours at a São Paulo police station Thursday (13) answering questions related to rape allegations against him.
Neymar arrived at the police station hobbling on crutches at 3:15 pm, surrounded by lawyers and security guards.
The football player, who is a striker for PSG and Brazi's national team, had to respond to the questions of delegate Juliana Lopes Bussaco and answer if he had raped and beaten model Najila Trindade on May 15 in Paris.
"Thank you for the affection of all. I am calm and thank you for the messages I have received so far. The truth will come out sooner or later," said Neymar after he ended his questioning.
Najila filed a report on May 31 at the police station in Santo Amaro. In an interview with SBT on June 5, she said she traveled to Paris to have sex with the player. According to her, however, Neymar forced a sexual act on her without the use of a condom. In her testimony, she confirmed this.
A week ago, the player answered questions from police in Rio de Janeiro, where the police are investigating him for sharing intimate images of Najila on his Instagram.
In this testimony, he blamed his advisors for sharing the photos and said that it was a mistake.
While Neymar was answering questions, his fans gathered in front of the police station with banners that said "truth be told" and "Coup, no." They also sang "God is with you, Neymar," an excerpt from the national anthem and shouted "Neymar! Neymar ".
