"I have received and continue to receive a lot of criticism, but I don't care what others think of me. I am respected, loved, and very happy. I don't depend on the opinions of others," wrote Clara Brasil on Instagram.
What the lovers cannot do together is travel far. Marco Polo del Nero is wanted in both Europe and the United States. He has found safe refuge in his homeland, Brazil, where he enjoys freedom alongside Clara Brasil.
Marco Polo del Nero was a prominent football official in organizations such as FIFA and CONMEBOL and the president of the Brazilian football association. His significant career ended in 2015 due to suspicions of numerous crimes. Del Nero has had to keep his distance from sports for nearly a decade.
The controversial official was suspended by FIFA and fined one million Swiss francs (approximately 1.4 million Canadian dollars). He has been accused of embezzling money, extortion, financial fraud, and offering bribes.
