The Mangaratiba Municipal Environment Department, the Environmental Military Police, and the Environmental Protection Group members of the municipality all participated in the arrest as part of an operation. 

Prior to his detention, Neymar Da Silva Santos allegedly got into an argument with Shayenne Barreto, Mangaratiba's secretary of the environment. 

Neymar Snr. was released, but the Paris Saint-Germain player's father received a warning that personnel in charge of carrying out the task needed "more education," according to Brazilian publication UOL Sport.

A video that Neymar Jr. posted to Instagram is believed to depict an artificial lake that the former Barcelona player is constructing at his home, and it is this video that sparked the original complaint of an environmental crime, which has been lodged with Mangaratiba City Hall. 

Genesis Ecossistemas, the business mentioned, constructs lakes and natural swimming pools.  

According to a report, the lake on Neymar Jr.'s property "promotes deforestation, rock breaking, and the diversion of a river." 

From the prohibited work, the investigation uncovered a number of environmental violations, including "the diversion of a water course, extraction of river water without authorisation, extraction of water for an artificial lake, earthworks, excavation, and movement of stones and rocks without authorisation."

According to reports, Neymar Jr.'s father was detained on Thursday after carrying out illegal construction on his son's property in Rio de Janeiro.

After delivering a confusing public apology to his pregnant girlfriend, Bruna Biancardi, his son recently made news. 

Neymar's unclear playing future this summer as a result of an injury-plagued PSG season is another concern he must deal with.

Although Manchester United has been mentioned in connection with Neymar, new rumors have suggested he may stay at PSG, who are apparently close to hiring Luis Enrique, his former Barcelona manager.
