Or am I crazy?” The police filed a complaint, issuing a statement on Thursday defending its “absolute transparency, neutrality and impartiality”. On Tuesday, Trindade had seen a third lawyer drop her case as Danilo Garcia de Andrade said he was no longer representing her. The lawyer wanted to see the content of a seven-minute video filmed during the model’s second meeting with the Paris Saint-Germain star. Trindade maintains the recording — a few seconds of which have been leaked on social media — includes conclusive evidence that she was assaulted. The accusation against Paris Saint-Germain forward Neymar has grabbed headlines in Brazil, which is currently hosting the Copa America, a tournament the 26-year-old is missing due to an ankle injury. Trindade filed the complaint against Neymar on May 31, saying he assaulted her after inviting her to visit him in Paris.
