Free until… later will remain o Dani Alvesas on Wednesday the Barcelona court rejected the appeals against the release of the footballerwho was sentenced for rape to four and a half years in prison.
The former Barcelona, Juventus and Paris Saint-Germain star was released from prison on payment of a guarantee of one million eurosan amount he secured from a Brazilian media organization in exchange for a report and an interview, since his own bank accounts are “frozen” due to a legal dispute with his ex-wife.
The 40-year-old defender was released on March 25 from Brians 2 prison in San Esteban Sasroviras, 40 kilometers northwest of Barcelona.
In the first instance he was convicted for rape of a young woman on the night of 30 to 31 December 2022 in a nightclub in Barcelona. Since January 2023, he has been in pre-trial detention, while after the conviction against him he applied for release and was released on bail and restrictive conditions until the appeal that his side has made is heard (with the aim, if not of acquittal, of reducing the sentence ), as well as the prosecutor (with the aim of increasing the sentence).
During his trial, Alves claimed that the sexual act with the alleged victim was consensual, but his defense was weakened by numerous changes in his version.
