It was decided to postpone the release of Brazilian Dani Alves, the former Barcelona player, as he will spend another night in prison for not depositing, yesterday, Thursday, the million euros imposed on him by the Barcelona court as bail for his temporary release.
Appeal hearings continue against the ruling that sentenced him to 4 and a half years in prison on charges of raping a girl in a nightclub in Barcelona on December 30, 2022.
The court decided that Alves could leave prison if he paid the imposed bail, with a commitment not to leave the country, hand over two passports - Spanish and Brazilian - and appear weekly before the court.
The former Barcelona player had asked the court, last Tuesday, to release him pending confirmation of the sentence issued against him, a request that was initially opposed by the Public Prosecutor’s Office, which believed that the risk of the accused’s escape still existed, given his financial ability and given the sentence imposed on him.
Alves has been in Brians 2 court for 14 months, specifically since January 20, 2023, after he was accused of raping a young woman in the “Sutun” club in Barcelona.
Efforts are currently continuing to collect the amount, which prompted the player, according to La Panguardia newspaper, to resort to the father of his former Barcelona teammate Neymar da Silva, who has already helped him pay a bail amounting to 150,000 euros, which a judge had imposed on him when she tried him on charges of... Sexual assault.
