Neymar on rape accusation: The truth will appear sooner or later

Neymar provided hist testimony to authorities in Sao Paulo during a five-hour interrogation in which he responded to all questions aimed at him over rape allegations.

Without responding to the concerns of the press, the Paris Saint Germain forward gave a few short statements and thanked the message of support and solidarity sent by people who believe in his innocence.

"I am calm, I appreciate all the messages I have received so far," he stated.

"The truth appears sooner or later," Neymar said, before reporting his gratitude for the support he has been shown by fans.

Brazilian model Najila Trindade Mendes de Souza says she traveled to Paris to have sexual relations with the player on 15 May but, when she was in the hotel, she changed her mind at the last moment when she was informed that Neymar did not have protection, and that the player then raped her.

At the end of the first part of the interrogation, the prosecutor assigned to the case, Flavia Cristina Merlini, assured the press that Neymar had answered all the questions and denied having committed the crime.

The prosecutor also ruled out the need for a face-to-face encounter between Neymar and the model that denounced him, due to the player giving a testimony.

Neymar provided his statement before the commissioner in charge of the case and, with that, the interrogation was terminated.

The content of Neymar's statement remains under secrecy.
