Real Madrid forward Vinicius Junior is reportedly facing legal action over a party held for his 25th birthday which saw him build his own theme park for around 500 attendants.
The Brazil international threw the lavish celebrations in Rio de Janeiro in July, with the military police being called to the event after one local complained about the level of the noise being generated by the celebration.
In a report from Brazilian publication O Globo via Spanish newspaper MARCA, Vinicius has been accused of “disturbing the work and peace of others” during his summer birthday bash.

The former Flamengo winger took over the Vargem Pequena neighbourhood in Rio by building ‘Vini’s World’ – a homage to the critically-acclaimed album Astroworld by rapper Travis Scott, who also performed at the event which featured fairground rides, samba shows, and other live entertainment.
The report claims that Vinicius was joined by around 500 guests including Real team-mate Eduardo Camavinga and Brazilian singer-songwriter Anitta.
Vinicius is now being taken to court over the celebrations after one local reported the expensive get-together to military police.
The authorities reportedly asked for Vinicius and his guests to reduce the amount of noise they were creating, but after initially complying, the complainant claims the volume level was raised again.
It is claimed that the case is being handled by Rio’s 9th Special Criminal Court, responsible for examining minor offences, with a preliminary hearing to be held on Thursday, November 6. Under Brazilian law, disturbing the work or peace of others is reportedly punishable by a prison sentence of between 15 days to three months, or a fine.
The latest update compounds a difficult few weeks for Vinicius who had to issue a public apology to Brazilian presenter and influencer Virginia Fonseca, who revealed the pair have split up after she found intimate conversations between him and other women.
