(Paris) The former Brazilian player of Paris SG Neymar was attacked before the industrial tribunal for “concealed work” by a former domestic employee who worked at his home in Bougival for a year and a half, the AFP on Wednesday with her lawyers.
According to Le Parisien, which revealed the information, this Brazilian mother is seeking 368,000 euros ($546,000) in compensation from the industrial tribunal.
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,” write his lawyers Caroline Toby and Vincent Champetier in a statement sent to the 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 .
“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 Messrs Toby and Champetier, Neymar was guilty of “obvious violation of the legal rules of protection attached to maternity”. Her eviction after giving birth “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, which proposed a resolution amicably, but remained unanswered.
“After having referred the matter to the industrial tribunal, we are now considering giving this case the criminal consequences it deserves,” the lawyers warned again on Wednesday.
Contacted by AFP, Neymar’s entourage did not respond on Wednesday evening.
