We review for you the stars who were judicially tried during the year 2023:

Neymar
Brazilian Neymar, the Saudi Al Hilal player, stood before the labor court in Paris, due to a complaint filed by a 35-year-old Brazilian woman, who worked in the home of the samba star when he was a player in Paris Saint-Germain.
The woman claims that she was working undeclared in Neymar’s house between January 2021 and October 2022, and is demanding that the player receive 368,000 euros.
The worker’s lawyers sent a letter to Neymar to agree on a financial settlement, but the letter was not responded to, so the lawyers filed the case with the labor court.
Dani Alves
Elvis and his girlfriend
The Spanish police decided to arrest Dani Alves last January, on charges of assaulting a young woman in a nightclub in Barcelona during December 2022.
The Spanish prosecution refused to release Alves, on the condition that his place of residence (house arrest) was guaranteed and bail was paid, for fear that the veteran Brazilian player would return to his country..
The Spanish newspaper “Mundo Deportivo” reported that Dani Alves decided to resort to a new trick in order to release him during the coming period, by changing his lawyer at the present time because he has not proven his innocence..
The Catalan newspaper indicated that the new defense body will conduct negotiations with the victim in order to acquit Alves, and the negotiations include paying a financial grant to the girl, admitting her guilt before the court, and then dropping the case.
