Neymar is criticized for helping to reduce Daniel Alves’ sentence

The family of Neymar was responsible for helping to pay the R$ 900 thousand reais (150 thousand euros) paid by Daniel Alves to the victim, who helped mitigate the former national team defender’s sentence in his rape conviction.

The player was sentenced to four years and six months in prison this Thursday morning (22). On social media, angry internet users criticize the support.

In addition to the amount, Neymar’s family also provided legal representative Gustavo Xisto, according to UOL. In X, most internet users consider the help absurd, since the player would be defending crime.

The fact that Neymar is “the father of a girl” (Mavie, four months old, the player’s daughter with influencer Bruna Biancardi) is also cited as an aggravating factor.

“Neymar paid to reduce the sentence of Daniel Alves, convicted of rape, by 5 years. Neymar… who is the father of a girl,” wrote user @cabreloatips on X. “Sponsored by Neymar, Daniel Alves bought 4 years of freedom with compensation of 150 thousand euros – change for the ‘parças’.”, wrote journalist Fabrizio Neitzke.

Internet users were outraged by the difficulty of being a woman and the player’s lack of empathy. “Neymar just had a daughter, he has, I believe, unconditional love for his mother, sister. And he has no idea what Daniel Alves did? What this woman is suffering from”, wrote user Amanda Ceará.
