FORMER BRAZIL INTERNATIONAL footballer Dani Alves is to be released from jail pending an appeal against his rape conviction in a €1 million bail agreement denounced by the victim’s lawyer as “justice for the rich”.
But the decision drew a furious response from the lawyer of the young woman who was raped by Alves at a Barcelona nightclub in December 2022. One of the world’s most decorated footballers who played for Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain, Alves was convicted last month of raping the young woman in the VIP bathroom of Sutton nightclub in the early hours of December 31, 2022.The court’s decision on Wednesday also bars him from “coming within 1,000 metres of the plaintiff, her home, her workplace and whatever other place that she is, as well as making any attempt to communicate with her”.
Since his arrest 14 months ago, Alves’ legal team has repeatedly asked for his release on bail but the request was always rejected by the court on grounds he was a flight risk.
