The project was carried out “without environmental authorization” on the property of the star of Paris Saint-Germain and the Brazilian national team in the luxurious Aero Rural property, in Mangaratiba, said the town hall of the city, located around 130 km from Rio, in a press release.
Authorities, alerted by complaints posted on social media, discovered “various environmental offences”, including the diversion of a watercourse, the unauthorized extraction of water from a river and the extraction of water to supply an artificial lake.
They also discovered unauthorized excavations and displacements of earth, stones and rocks, as well as the use of beach sand without an environmental permit, the statement said.
