Man Jailed afte Stealing Ball with Neymar's Autograph
The Brazilian supreme court has sentenced a man to 17 years of prison by the Brazilian supreme court, following his involvement in riots in Brasilia, which included the theft of a ball signed by Neymar. On Monday, Nelson Ribeiro Fonseca Junior, 34, was handed the sentence due to his role in the January 8 protests, which erupted after former president Jair Bolsonaro's narrow election defeat. Thousands of demonstrators took to the streets demanding military intervention to overturn the result. Protesters stormed many state buildings, including the Brazilian Congress. Around 500 people have been convicted so far, with others still on trial. Fonseca was found guilty of attempting to violently abolish democratic rule, armed criminal association, attempted coup, and stealing a football signed by Neymar from inside the Congress corridors. The ball, a 2012 gift from Santos FC to the Chamber of Deputies, had been on display as a symbol of national pride. During the chaos, Fonseca was caught on security cameras taking it from the corridor of the Congress. Fonseca's lawyers claimed he found the ball on the floor and took it to 'protect it' during the case has sparked debate online, with many people expressing sympathy for the convict, not realising how ridiculous it is? People who commit murders get less time in jail than a guy who steals a ball?'' one Brazilian user wrote on X. Another user added: 'There are people who commit heinous crimes like murder and do not get this whole sentence.'

Neymar makes decision on his future as Brazilian superstar targets fourth World Cup next summer
Brazil star Neymar has made a decision on his future as he targets a fourth World Cup for his nation in 2026. The winger, 33, rejoined his boyhood club Santos in January on a six-month contract after leaving Saudi Pro League side Al-Hilal. He scored three goals in 14 appearances during the second half of the 2024-25 campaign - having previously netted 136 goals in 225 games in his first spell at the club from 2009 to 2013. Now, he has opted to renew his contract with Santos, potentially paving a pathway for him to feature for the Selecao at next year's World Cup. In a statement posted on the club's website, he said: 'I made a decision and I listened to my heart. 'Santos is not just my team, it is my home, my roots, my history and my life. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Santos Futebol Clube (@santosfc) 'Here I was a boy who became a man, and I am truly loved. Here I can be myself, truly happy. And it is here that I want to fulfil the dreams that are missing in my career. 'And nothing will stop me. I go, I come back and I stay. Where it all began and where it will never end.' He will be hoping for a sustained spell in Santos' team having struggled with injuries during his 18-month spell in Saudi Arabia. He has not played for Brazil since suffering an an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury back in October 2023, but remains his country's record goalscorer with 79 goals. Off the field, Neymar was recently seen with Barcelona and Spain star Lamine Yamal in Rio de Janeiro. In a post on Instagram, Yamal quashed rumours over his relationship status after he was seen with a Colombian model and adult film star twelve years his senior. The Blaugrana wonderkid gave another update on the matter on Sunday.
