Dani Alves was able to pay the required amount to get out of prison, and Alves’s lawyers are seeking to acquit him. The appeal process may take months to complete, but the prosecution wants to double the prison sentence to nine years.
A court in Barcelona announced that it would confiscate the passports of the player, who holds dual Brazilian and Spanish citizenship, as Brazilian footballer Dani Alves was released from a Barcelona prison yesterday, Monday, after paying bail of one million euros ($1.09 million).
Dani Alves released
A local court in Barcelona ruled that Dani Alves could be released on conditional bail while appealing his rape conviction after serving about a quarter of his four-and-a-half-year prison term.
Dani Alves gave up his Brazilian and Spanish passports so that he could not leave Spain and appear in court weekly or when summoned. The court imposed an order preventing him from approaching within 1,000 meters of the victim for 9 years.
The Barcelona court had previously ruled that Dani Alves be imprisoned for 4 and a half years, after he was found guilty of raping a girl in a nightclub in Catalonia, in late 2022.
Dani Alves is in court weekly
The newspaper explained that the court required Dani Alves to attend the court session once a week, in exchange for allowing him to spend the next period outside prison.
Former Brazilian international footballer Dani Alves was allowed out on bail after serving 14 months of a four-and-a-half-year prison sentence for rape.
