Neymar is accused of organizing armed attack in Brazil

Assistant to a Brazilian MP and LGBT activist Agripino Magalhaes has filed a lawsuit with the court of Sao Paulo, Brazil, against Brazilian striker Neymar of PSG, LO-Bianco reported.

Magalhaes accuses the 29-year-old star of the Brazilian national football team of organizing an armed attack against him.

Agripino Magalhaes believes Neymar could have taken such a step because of Magalhaes’ homophobic reports about the footballer.

According to Magalhaes, the attacker's lawyer threatened to kill him.

He is seeking 1 million Brazilian reals (about US$156,000) in compensation for moral damage.

Agripino Magalhaes claims that he is unable to continue working as usual due to the threat to his life.
