A court in the state of São Paulo dismisses the football star’s application.
Football star Neymar defends himself against a podcast in his home country of Brazil, but has suffered a first defeat. A court in the state of São Paulo rejected the 33-year-old’s application to suspend the publication. The request is a “hideous preliminary”.
The first 44-minute episode of the podcast entitled “Project Neymar: Success or failure?” was sent on April 22nd by the online medium Uol on YouTube. According to its own statements, the podcast is based exclusively on email traffic, WhatsApp chats and advertising contracts. There should also be interviews with key figures.
Neymar fails in court
Court justified judgment against Neymar
“For literary or audiovisual biographical works, the approval of the profiled person is not necessary,” says the reason for the Court, which is available to the AFP news agency. Neymar was given five days to change the original application and to make an appeal again.
The former star player of FC Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain returned to his former club FC Santos at the beginning of the year. Neymar is currently missing his team because of a new injury.
