Brazilian soccer star Neymar was fined $3.33 million dollars for breaching environmental rules during the construction of his coastal mansion in Southeastern Brazil.
The luxury project violated rules regarding the use and movement of freshwater sources, rock and sand, local authorities first alleged late last month and confirmed on Monday.
His residence is located in the town of Mangaratiba on the Southern coast of Brazil’s Rio de Janeiro State.
Mangaratiba’s environmental body said in a statement on Monday that environmental infractions were made “in the construction of an artificial lake at the mansion.”
