The footballer, aged 27, arrived at the police station shortly before 4:00 pm local time (1900 GMT) and left at around 9:00 pm. Neymar's appearance comes after Brazilian police said Thursday they had filed a defamation suit against his rape accuser for insinuating the force was corrupt. Neymar, who plays for Paris Saint-Germain, previously gave a statement to Rio de Janeiro police over WhatsApp messages posted on his Instagram account that featured intimate photos of Trindade. He told police that an assistant and a technician were responsible for sharing the messages and photos, TV Globo reported previously. More than 60 percent of Brazilians believe Neymar is innocent, according to a recent poll of 2,071 people last week.
