Real Madrid‘s forward Vinícius Júnior is under scrutiny in Brazil for allegedly disturbing the peace during a lavish birthday celebration he hosted in Rio de Janeiro this summer. The incident, which reportedly took place from July 19 to the early hours of July 21, has led to legal proceedings now being examined by the 9th Special Criminal Court of Rio de Janeiro, which handles minor offenses. A neighbor of the high-end estate where the party was held filed a complaint, claiming that excessive noise from the festivities disrupted the tranquility of the area.
The extravagant celebration marked Vinícius’s 25th birthday and attracted around 500 guests, including notable figures like Real Madrid teammate Eduardo Camavinga and Brazilian pop star Anitta. The event featured live performances, including a concert by American rapper Travis Scott, along with fireworks and amusement rides, creating a vibrant atmosphere that quickly escalated into a noise complaint.
Police Intervention and Legal Proceedings
According to reports, after receiving multiple complaints about the noise levels, the Military Police were dispatched to the venue. Officers advised guests to lower the volume, and while initial compliance was observed, it is alleged that noise levels surged again shortly after their departure. This led to further complaints from neighbors and ultimately resulted in legal action against the Brazilian international.
Potential Consequences Under Brazilian Law
The legal implications for Vinícius could be significant. Under Brazilian law, disturbing public peace can result in a penalty of up to three months in jail or a monetary fine. A preliminary hearing regarding this case is set for November 6, where further developments are expected. As one of football’s rising stars, Vinícius’s off-field antics have now drawn unwanted attention that could overshadow his on-field performances.
This incident raises questions about the balance between celebrity lifestyles and community standards. As Vinícius continues to shine on the pitch for Real Madrid, fans will be watching closely how this situation unfolds and what impact it may have on his burgeoning career.
