A mother denounces Felipe Melo for intimidating her son

A mother denounced the Brazilian midfielder Felipe Meloof the Fluminensefor intimidating his underage son, after the latter told the player that he was a Botafogo fan, police said on Wednesday. The Rio de Janeiro Civil Police said in a statement that it will take statements from those involved and carry out proceedings to clarify the events, which were recorded at a police station in Barra da Tijuca, a neighborhood in the capital of Rio de Janeiro.

The complaint alleges that Melo, 41, had “aggressive behavior” after the young man, a teenage neighbor of his in a luxury housing estate, confessed to him that he supports Botafogo, a rival of ‘Flu’ in Rio, according to the ‘Ge’ website.

The incident occurred on Sunday night, when the 15-year-old went out to walk his dogs and met Melo, who asked him what team he supported. The boy replied that he was a Botafogo fan and the controversial former player of Inter Milan, Juventus and Galatasaray, among other clubs, reacted belligerently.

“My son had to take a few steps back. He asked if he was making him look like a ‘fool’ or a ‘crazy’ man. (Melo) had to be restrained by another man, who feared physical aggression,” said Vanessa Cruz, the young man’s mother, in statements collected by ‘Ge’.
