Dani Alves has posted bail and must appear in court every week and answer “all lawful summonses” between now and his new trial. He was also forbidden to come within a kilometer of the home or workplace of the girl, for the rape of which he was convicted.
Dani Alves was sentenced to 4.5 years in prison for the rape of a young girl last February in Barcelona, he paid the bail of one million euros and will be able to leave prison, as announced today (25/3) by a court of Barcelona.
“We inform you that the testimony of Daniel Alves has been recorded in the accounts of the 21st department of the court of Barcelona”, it is stated epigrammatically in the relevant press release from the court, which accepted last Wednesday, the release of the Brazilian, with the specific guarantee, the surrender of his passports and the ban on leaving Spain.
Many journalists waited patiently despite the rain, since early morning in front of the Brians 2 prison, 40 kilometers northwest of Barcelona, for the release of Alves.
A court in Barcelona accepted his release pending appeal, while Neymar’s family denied paying the bail amount, despite paying 150,000 euros last January to help the former defender cover legal costs.
Dani Alves’ financial situation has worsened significantly since his arrest, notably with the suspension of his contract with Mexican club Pumas and the cessation of other sources of income, according to his defense.
Accepting his release from prison last Wednesday (20.03), the court ruled that Alves must appear in court every week and answer “all lawful summonses” between now and his new trial, the date of which is unknown .
He was also banned from coming within one kilometer of the victim’s home or workplace and making contact with her.
