On February 22, the former Brazilian soccer player, Dani Alves, was sentenced in the city of Barcelona. in Spain to a total of 4 and a half years in prison for the crime of sexual assault of a 23-year-old woman in a nightclub in said Catalan city last December 2022.
For this reason, the former full-back has been detained behind bars for more than a year. Approximately almost a month later, Section 21 of the Barcelona Court decided to accept what was the request by the defense of the former Barcelona Football Club player to be able to provisionally leave prison on bail.
What is the condition for Alves’ release from prison?
The hearing placed a condition to be able to release Alves and that was to pay a total of one million euros and according to information released by the Spanish media La Vanguardia, the father of Neymar Júnior, Alves’ former teammate in Barcelona and in the Brazilian national team, would be in charge of paying said amount of money so that Alves can be released.
Although initially the idea of the bail payment was to be made effective last Wednesdaythe adequate times were not given for this and it would become effective on Thursday so that the Brazilian could take his first steps in freedom, outside the Brians 2 Penitentiary Center.
The Spanish media also let it be known that Alves’ lawyer, Mrs. Inés Guardiola “He is pulling all the strings to comply with the bail resolution,” this in favor of his release becoming effective as soon as possible.
Alves does not have any of his assets under his possession
It must be remembered that the former full-back does not have power over any of his material assets since they have been seized by a judicial procedure opened by his former partner, Mrs. Dinorah Santana, in Brazil, which makes it impossible for him to be able to pay the bail, and it is there where Neymar’s father, current Al Hilal player of the Saudi Pro League, makes his entrance to give a twist to all these recent events with the theme of Alves.
After 14 months in prison, everything seems to indicate that the one who was at the time a vital player for FC Barcelona and Sevilla of Spain, would be released on Thursday: “Once you leave the penitentiary center, you must appear before the court to be personally notified of the release decision, hand over your passports, notify the address where you are going to reside and indicate the court where he must appear every week to sign and certify that he has not absconded,” the site concluded about the step by step that the Brazilian must comply with.
Alves finally spoke and promises not to flee from justice
“I’m not going to run away. “I trust in Justice and I will always be at your disposal,” were the words that the player released to accept the request of his lawyers.
Alves’ judicial process has been one where money has been the protagonist since in the first instance he had to cancel to the victim in question, the sum of 150 thousand euros as compensation for the damage to morale and injuries suffered in the sexual attack by the player from Rio.
