RMC reported that a Brazilian man was sentenced to 17 years in prison for stealing Neymar's signed football and other violent crimes.

The stolen football was donated to a local agency by the Santos Club in 2012, when Neymar just started his career.

The suspect's defense lawyer said that he took the football away to leave the burglary and protect himself. He took the initiative to go to the police after 20 days. In addition to stealing football, the man also involved other violence.
