Former Paris Saint-Germain player Neymar was attacked before the industrial tribunal for “hidden work” by a former domestic worker who worked at her home in Bougival (Yvelines) for a year and a half, AFP learned from her lawyers on Wednesday November 15.

From January 2021 to October 2022, “Neymar exploited the precariousness of our client to impose unworthy working conditions on her, in violation of the basic rules of labor law”, wrote his lawyers Caroline Toby and Vincent Champetier in a statement sent to AFP. The employment of this worker without a residence permit and part-time, who should have been reclassified as full-time employment due to the number of hours worked, was not the subject of any declaration, according to the same sources .

Lawyers denounce Neymar’s “inhumanity”

“We deplore that such a personality could have shown so much inhumanity, even going so far as to kick our client out of her home a few days before giving birth prematurely, while she was complaining of pain”add the lawyers.

According to Mes Toby and Champetier, the Brazilian star was guilty of “obvious violation of the legal rules of protection attached to maternity”. Her eviction after childbirth “left her in total destitution, due in particular to her lack of declaration to social organizations”they wrote in a letter dated June and consulted by AFP.

“After having referred the matter to the industrial tribunal, we now plan to give this case the criminal consequences it deserves”, the lawyers warned again. Contacted by AFP, Neymar’s entourage did not respond on Wednesday.
