OFFICIAL: Barcelona Court has released Dani Alves on bail of €1m pending his final sentence. He had previously served one year and two months in prison.
Dani Alves has paid a €1 million bail and will be temporarily released, but his passport is confiscated, and he must appear in court weekly until his final sentence.
Yesterday the court held a hearing on whether it was a temporary incident, and Alves attended by video, during which he said: I will not run away, I believe in justice, and I will always be at the mercy of justice.
Alves was convicted in February and sentenced to four years and six months in prison for having raped the woman in a nightclub in 2022.
The former Barcelona and Brazil international defender has been behind bars since being arrested in January 2023, with his prior requests to be let free on bail being denied because the court deemed him a flight risk.
To now go free, in addition to the bail money, Alves is also required to hand over his Brazilian and Spanish passports and is prohibited from leaving the country.
Both Alves' defence lawyer and the state prosecutor have appealed the conviction - his defence is seeking his acquittal, while the prosecutor wants his prison sentence increased to nine years.
There is no date yet for the new trial at a higher court in Barcelona, whole the case can then go to the Supreme Court in Madrid.

I don't want to talk about the crime, either it was intentional or Not. I want to talk about the bail amount, since the past 15 years Spain especially has been dealing with people highly in a small something. no player or coach or athletic or business man or woman has had it cool with Spanish Royal government in terms of Taxes . High tax rate unlike other countries. you hardly hear of tax fraud in EPL, LIGUE 1 OR German League. This is not a total Bailout but look at the heavy amount of money the splash on him. Even when Neymar left Barcelona didn't fulfill there own right in Bonuses. Spanish Royal Government has given women mostly powers to deal with men more than any other European countries in the World. I can say that Spanish Royal Government are full of money type. in all All Men should be careful of white women in Europe, look at Eboue of Arsenal that year he went bankruptcy, look at CR7 a case of 2008 was reviewed years later and he paid again and again. Whenever there money finished the hire Spanish Lawyers who come in there defense so that they will share percentage out of the money . Thanks some Africa men who didn't agree to enter there trap such as Samuel Etoo and Hakimi. Osimhen my Brother should trade with caution also to avoid stories at last. Men be careful of this Ladies please

so sad to see someone who is promoting your league, see himself treated like this only because you want to get the money back what he worked for.

This is a well-calculated plot from the Spanish government, down to their ladies. Spain is a bad country for migrants dwellers
