Fresh reports in Brazil confirm that Paris Saint-Germain star Neymar is facing two separate police investigations in over rape allegation.
The Brazilian footballer is accused of of raping and assaulting a Brazilian model in a hotel room in Paris last month
According to the CNN quoting Rio de Janeiro’s Police press office, the investigation is being conducted by Sao Paulo police, where Najila Trindade filed a police report on May 31 claiming that the PSG player assaulted and raped her earlier that month.
The 26-year-old model is currently being questioned by police in relation to the alleged Paris incident in a closed setting.
Neymar has denied the accusations in an Instagram video, saying: “I was induced to do it, it was something that happened, it was a trap and I ended up falling for it, but that’s a lesson from here on out.”
His representatives have said he is the victim of extortion.
Neymar went to the Rio de Janeiro police headquarters on Thursday evening in an investigation.
The Brazilian football confederation reported earlier that Neymar had received a subpoena to speak with authorities about his posting on social media of images and messages of the woman without her authorisation in possible violation of her online privacy.
“I only want to thank the support and messages that everybody sent,” said the player, who was using crutches because of his injured right ankle.
A doctor gave a statement to Sao Paulo police on Thursday about a medical examination he gave the woman.
