A Brazilian court has suspended a $3 million fine imposed on soccer star Neymar last year for building a lake at his mansion on the outskirts of Rio de Janeiro without an environmental license.
“As the applied fines were in the millions of dollars, continuing to demand … will inflict substantial, disproportionate and even illegal prejudice” against the Al Hilal SFC player, the judge said. The town council in Mangaratiba issued four fines for a total of 16 million reais for “environmental violations in the construction of an artificial lake at the player’s mansion” in the tourist town about 130 kilometers outside of Rio.
But the judge sided with the INEA’s findings, saying in her ruling that their inspection “confirmed that no license is required for such activities, and therefore the alleged infractions “were not present.”
