JAKARTA A soccer star from Brazil, Neymar Jr, is again facing problems. The construction of his property in Brazil does not have an environmental permit.

The consequences of the project, which is referred to as the "big reconstruction" of the state of Rio de Janeiro, were stopped by the authorities on Thursday. The project is considered to have violated the environment which could result in a fine of around US$1 million or around Rp15 billion.

The project, which took place "without an environmental permit" on the luxury property owned by Paris Saint-Germain players, was carried out in Mangariba or about 130 kilometers from Rio de Janeiro.

Authorities, who were notified by complaints posted on social media, found "various environmental violations", including diversion of waterways, and unlicensed water extraction from rivers.

They also found illegal excavations and removal of land, rocks, and rocks, as well as the use of beach sand without permission.

"The next step is to assess the irregularities found and impose fines that, according to estimates and given the environmental damage caused, will not be less than five million reais (approximately 1 million US Dollars)," the local mayor's office said.

So far, Neymar's representatives in Brazil have not responded to a request for comment from the news agency. The footballer's father, Neymar da Silva Santos, was on site during the inspection and was heard arguing with officers in a video published by the authorities and spread local media.

Neymar bought the property in 2016. According to local media, the property stands on an area of 10,000 square meters (2.5 hectares) and has a helipad, spa, and fitness center.

The 31-year-old forward is currently recovering after undergoing surgery on his right ankle, which he underwent in Doha, Qatar, in March.

He hasn't played since February. Therefore, recently doubts have begun to emerge whether he will stay at PSG.
