Police in Brazil have charged a woman who accused the international footballer, Neymar, of raping her in a Paris hotel in May with perverting the course of justice.<\/p>\n

Najila Trindade and her former husband, Estivens Alves, have been accused of lying to police and attempting to blackmail the player.<\/p>\n

The Paris St-Germain player has been cleared of any wrongdoing.<\/p>\n

Ms Trindade’s lawyer said the indictment had taken him by surprise.<\/p>\n

Cosme Ara\u00fajo rejected the police accusations and said his client had never colluded with Mr Alves to extort money from the Brazilian football star.<\/p>\n

‘Consensual sex’<\/h2>\n

The case dominated newspaper headlines in Brazil and abroad for several weeks.<\/p>\n

\"Neymar\"<\/a>
Neymar denied the allegations from the beginning and said he was being extorted.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

It first came to light in June, when the Paris St-Germain star released a seven minute video\u00a0<\/a>on Instagram revealing that he had been accused of rape.<\/p>\n

He also published Whatsapp messages and images that he claimed to be of the woman.<\/p>\n

In the video he says he had to make them public to “prove that nothing really happened”.<\/p>\n

He said they met online. He paid for her trip to France and they had consensual sex before Ms Trindade returned to Brazil and went to a police station to accuse him of attacking her.<\/p>\n

Ms Trindade then went public, giving a television interview<\/a>\u00a0and releasing footage and a video clip purportedly showing an altercation between the two.<\/p>\n

Police later filed a defamation suit against Ms Trindade, who allegedly insinuated the force was corrupt, according to news agency AFP.<\/p>\n

Police closed the case at the end of July.<\/a><\/p>\n

The S\u00e3o Paulo attorney general’s office said the case was suspended due to a lack of evidence.<\/p>\n
