RIO DE JANEIRO - Neymar, the world's most expensive footballer, was approved to receive a US$120 welfare payment meant for low-paid Brazilian workers affected by the coronavirus pandemic, in an apparent case of identity theft, a report said Thursday.
The emergency payments are meant to help Brazilians employed in the informal sector - such as cleaners or cooks - whose jobs and incomes have evaporated with stay-at-home measures to contain the virus. Yet according to UOL, the application in his name"was initially approved and scheduled for payment... before being frozen and placed 'under evaluation' due to indications it failed to meet the requirements."UOL reported his staff said Neymar"obviously never applied for this benefit, and does not know who would have done so."
