Najila Trindade Mendes de Souza insisted during a police quiz yesterday that it was taken during a break-in. Police said, after they checked the flat door for fingerprints, they found only her’s and her cleaner’s
The 26-year-old is said to have broken down repeatedly as she gave a statement to investigators in Sao Paulo, with police having to halt their quiz when she had a ‘fit of hysterical crying’ as she claimed Neymar raped her last month without a condom according to Brazilian media giant Globo.
A one-minute five second clip of the full seven-minute video was published earlier this week, showing Najila lashing out at the footballer over the Police hit ‘Every Breath You Take’ playing in the background and Neymar reacting by putting his right foot up to her face in an apparent attempt to ward her off.
The PSG star could be overheard saying: ‘No, no, no, no, no, don’t hit me’ after the sound of a first slap which was not picked up on camera before Najila replied: ‘No? Are you going to hit me then? Are you going to hit me?’
As she hit him twice she shouted at him: ‘But I’m going to hit you. Do you know why I’m going to hit you? Do you know why? Do you know why? Because you assaulted me yesterday. You left me here alone.’
Najila’s lawyer Danilo Garcia de Andrade was quoted in Brazilian media as saying: ‘What she’s told me is that she needed proof of that assault, that the slap was what Neymar had done to her previously and that she got him into the room again and filmed the scene.’

But the footballer’s dad Neymar Santos hit back by telling Brazilian station Record TV after they broadcast the footage: ‘I don’t think I have to defend my son at all. The images speak for themselves and it’s clear this is a video that is forced.’
‘The video is only going to show that Neymar was assaulted. She provokes an aggression so that he responds, but he realises that everything that was happening was a set-up.’
He added: ‘When my son enters the room, everything is already been filmed.
‘It would be good for the investigation and for us that the whole video emerges.
‘That’s what the police are trying to do, find all the images that she has.’

The footballer’s accuser went on Brazilian TV on Wednesday to claim Neymar paid for her to stay at the five-star Sofitel Paris Arc Du Triumph where she says the rape occurred after they chatted on Instagram.
She admitted to wanting to have sex with him when she agreed to meet him, but added when asked f she was a victim of rape: ‘Aggression followed by rape.’
Her ex-lawyers said earlier in the week they had dropped her after failing to reach an out-of-court settlement with Neymar, but insisted she had never mentioned rape to them in the beginning and had spoken only of an alleged assault which had left her with bruising on her legs and bottom.
Neymar’s dad has confirmed the authenticity of the video showing the confrontation between his son and Najila – but insisted he had been tricked by his accuser.
Neymar, ruled out of the Copa America which starts on June 14 through injury, is facing a separate police probe over his controversial decision to defend himself from his rape accuser by publishing photos of her and messages they had exchanged before her decision to go on TV.
A video also emerged, filmed by Ms Trindade during her second meeting with Neymar, showing her hitting him as he lay on the hotel bed in what she said was an attempt to get him to repeat the aggression of the first encounter
Alluding to the probe the footballer’s dad has said: ‘Imagine allowing an accusation like that, seeing how your son is called a rapist.
‘That’s why Neymar decided to expose himself like that.
‘We protected the woman’s face and her name, we did what we could, but it was a defence.’
Overnight Brazilian media reported the footballer was now blaming advisors for adding messages he had exchanged with his rape accuser to a video he posted on Instagram.
Neymar’s mum has urged her son to focus on his football in an emotional open letter backing him over rape allegations.
Nadine Goncalves da Silva Santos also encouraged the soccer star to ‘forgive’ Najila.
The deeply-religious mum-of-two, showing she felt confident Neymar would be cleared of any wrongdoing, wrote on Instagram: ‘Son, now everything is finally being clarified and the truth of God is coming to the fore, it’s time to learn with all this and return to his first love Jesus Christ.
‘He is the only one who really knows his heart, confide in him.
‘Focus solely on what you most love in life which is playing football.
‘This is what is going to give you back the happiness that’s been missing in the last few days.
‘As Christians that we are, forgive that girl. Your sister and I, as women, can assure you that she does not represent us.
‘I love you lots and I will continue praying for you every day of my life. God bless you. I love you.’
