Dani Alves, the ex-Barcelona and Brazil national team footballer, has been released from a Spanish prison after posting a €1 million bail. This development comes as Alves serves a prison sentence for rape, having been found guilty last month of assaulting a young woman in a Barcelona nightclub on New Year’s Eve 2022.
Bail Conditions Set by Barcelona Court
In an unexpected turn, a Barcelona court granted Alves’ request for provisional release while he appeals his conviction. The court’s conditions for his bail include the surrender of his Spanish and Brazilian passports, mandatory stay within the country, and weekly court appearances. Alves remained in custody until Monday, as it took time for him and his team to secure the necessary bail funds.
Appeal Process Underway
The appeal against Alves’ conviction is expected to be a lengthy process, with both public prosecutors and the victim’s legal representation challenging the court’s decision to grant bail. As the legal proceedings unfold, the football world watches closely, awaiting the final outcome of this high-profile case.
