On July 30, 2019, the São Paulo attorney general's office announced that the rape case against Brazilian football player Neymar had been suspended due to a lack of evidence.
The investigation, which was opened in May after Brazilian model Najila Trindade alleged that Neymar attacked her in a hotel in Paris, France, will be sent to prosecutors for a final decision.
Neymar has consistently denied the accusations, claiming that he is being extorted.
The case has garnered significant attention in Brazil, with many newspaper headlines dominating the news.
