Police in Brazil probing rape allegations against football superstar Neymar have closed the case due to a lack of evidence, the Sao Paulo attorney general’s office said Monday.
The police decision will be sent to prosecutors on Tuesday, who will have 15 days to evaluate the case, a spokeswoman for the attorney general’s office told AFP.
The law firm first representing Trinidade withdrew from the case due to what they believed was a change in her story, citing an ethical concern over representing a case that they believed could be illegal defamation. Trinidade’s subsequent lawyer also withdrew after Trinidade accused the attorney of breaking into her apartment and stealing the tablet computer upon which Trinidade recorded a video of her and Neymar inside the Parisian hotel room the day after the alleged rape.
Police have requested access to the tablet to view the full video, of which only a few seconds were released in the media, but Trindade has never supplied it.
