The investigations are ascertaining whether the former player and host committed the crime of incitement to commit a crime
Former player Neto, presenter of the Band’s “Os Donos da Bola” program, told police he had no intention of offending Neymar by saying fans should “piss on the head” of the Brazilian national team player, according to Rogério Gentile. columnist at UOL.
– I spoke figuratively, not literally – Neto declared in an investigation investigating whether the presenter had committed the crime of incitement to commit a crime.
The incident occurred in 2023, after Brazil drew 1-1 with Venezuela, in the World Cup qualifiers, in Cuiabá. A fan threw a bag of popcorn at Neymar as he left the pitch. The player reacted, swore at the fan and then, in an interview, said he was rude and that “if he complains so much, he should have trained and been on the pitch, not me”.
Neto commented on the case the next day on his show:
– Neymar isn’t causing a stir today. He has to piss, everyone has to piss on his head, poop and play. You have to do it,” he said.
Neymar turned to the Public Prosecutor claiming that Neto did not make a journalistic criticism, but rather offended him and incited hatred in the stadiums.
