Provoked after the defeat against Rennes (2-2, 6-5 tab) in the final of the Coupe de France 2019, Neymar had slapped a supporter in the stands. Under pressure, this spectator then filed a complaint. And four years later, Paris Saint-Germain is not rid of this affair.
If Neymar had only received a reminder of the law, Paris Saint-Germain, he is at greater risk. The case dates back to April 27, 2019 when the Brazilian, provoked after the defeat against Rennes in the final of the Coupe de France, reacted by slapping his detractor in the stands. Enough to cause a huge buzz and therefore the concern of the Ile-de-France club, concerned at the idea of seeing justice take action.
What if Neymar once again became the figurehead of PSG?

But that’s nothing compared to the fear of Nelson, the slapped supporter whose identity was quickly revealed by the former Paname Squad Twitter account, after long steps apparently orchestrated by Paris Saint-Germain. This is indeed the trend that emerges through the survey. According to L’Equipe, the investigators were interested in a ” digital army “Responsible for defending the interests of the club on the internet, including attacking our colleagues from Paris United. And the Neymar clan would also be involved in this whole story.
PSG continues to deny
Indeed, Nelson accuses a certain Alex Bernardo, close to the father of the international Auriverde and Digital Manager of NR Sports, of having exerted pressure on him. The supporter would be the victim of disclosure of information obtained illegally. The investigation highlighted exchanges between PSG and intelligence agents. The former director of communications of PSG Jean-Martial Ribes would have instructed Malik Naït-Liman, referent supporters of the club, to collect information via a police officer on Nelson.
Thus, his identity, his address and his criminal record would have been revealed. It remains to be seen whether the Neymar clan, which would have notably offered money to the supporter, had access to this information. For its part, the PSG denies any involvement, but documents as well as payments prove an agreement with a digital agency. The investigation is therefore continuing to determine who was really hiding behind the Paname Squad account and who are the other victims of the digital army.
