After almost 14 months in prison,  Dani Alves is out of jail after managing to raise a million euro needed for his bail as confirmed by the High Court of Justice of Catalonia at 11:30 am. The Court of Barcelona agreed to his provisional release on Wednesday, March 20, with a private vote against and until this Monday the money had not been consigned. It should be reminded that the footballer had been sentenced to four years and six months in prison for rape.


The footballer has finally been able to raise the amount after intense days of negotiations. Initially, all eyes were on the Neymar family, who helped Dani Alves at the beginning of the case and gave him 150,000 euros, which later served to mitigate the penalty. His accounts were frozen and he has had more difficulties than expected.


Anyway, everything pointed to the fact that this Monday he would be released from Brians 2. Last Friday, the Brazilian asked for an extra hour to be able to post bail: from 14:00 to 15:00. In any case, he could not present it then and Alves had to spend the weekend in prison. The efforts of this Saturday and Sunday by his entourage have been fruitful.


Dani Alves, in addition to posting bail of one million euros, has handed over his two passports, Brazilian and Spanish, through his defence, led by lawyer Ines Guardiola. The footballer will not be allowed to leave the national territory. In addition, he is forbidden to approach the victim, affected by the recent events according to the private prosecution, and the places she frequents. He will not be able to contact her and will have to appear weekly in court.


The ex-player has been asking the courts for months for provisional release but has always been rejected on the grounds of a high risk of flight due to the high purchasing power of the accused. Taking into account that Brazil does not have an extradition treaty with Spain, the courts have decided on numerous occasions to keep him in prison.


However, things changed last Wednesday, when the Court of Barcelona did agree to his provisional release on bail of one million euros. A high figure that surprised Dani Alves but that, working against the clock, he managed to collect. In any case, it has not been an easy scenario since in the last few hours supporters with whom he counted on to help in the payment, such as the Neymar family, have publicly disassociated themselves.


Thanks to this, Dani Alves leaves Brians 2 prison today awaiting the final sentence after the appeals presented by the Prosecutor's Office, by the private prosecution and by the defence. While the Prosecutor's Office and the private prosecution request that the sentence be increased, rejecting the mitigating circumstance of reparation of the damage, the defence points out just the opposite, that the mitigating circumstance be considered as very qualified, which would reduce even more the sentence imposed.






丹尼·阿爾維斯 (Dani Alves) 因性侵犯而被定罪,在繳納 100 萬歐元(1.09 美元)保釋後離開西班牙監獄



加泰隆尼亞高等法院於上午 11:30 確認,在入獄近 14 個月後,丹尼·阿爾維斯 (Dani Alves) 成功籌集到保釋所需的 100 萬歐元,現已出獄。 巴塞隆納法院於 3 月 20 日星期三同意暫時釋放他,但私下投票反對,直到本週一,這筆錢才被交付。 應該提醒的是,這名足球員因強姦罪被判處四年六個月監禁。


經過幾天的緊張談判,這位足球員終於能夠籌集到這筆資金。 最初,所有人的目光都集中在內馬爾家族身上,他們在案件開始時幫助了丹尼·阿爾維斯,並給了他 15 萬歐元,後來用於減輕處罰。 他的帳戶被凍結,他遇到的困難比預想的還要多。


無論如何,一切都表明,本週一他將從布萊恩斯 2 號監獄獲釋。上週五,巴西人要求額外一個小時以便能夠保釋:從 14:00 到 15:00。 無論如何,他當時無法展示它,阿爾維斯不得不在監獄裡度過週末。


本週六和週日,他的隨行人員的努力取得了豐碩成果。


除了繳納 100 萬歐元的保釋金外,丹尼·阿爾維斯還透過律師伊內斯·瓜迪奧拉 (Ines Guardiola) 的辯護,交出了他的兩本護照,巴西和西班牙。 足球員將不被允許離開國家領土。 此外,根據自訴方的說法,受最近發生的事件影響,他被禁止接近受害者以及她經常去的地方。 他將無法聯繫她,並且必須每週出庭。


幾個月來,這位前球員一直向法院請求臨時釋放,但始終被拒絕,理由是被告的高購買力導致其逃脫的風險很高。 考慮到巴西與西班牙沒有引渡條約,法院多次決定將他關在監獄。


然而,上週三事情發生了變化,巴塞隆納法院同意以一百萬歐元的保釋金暫時釋放他。 這個數字讓丹尼·阿爾維斯感到驚訝,但他在爭分奪秒的努力下終於達到了這個數字。 無論如何,這不是一件容易的事情,因為在過去的幾個小時裡,他指望幫助支付款項的支持者,例如內馬爾家族,已經公開與他斷絕關係。


因此,丹尼·阿爾維斯今天離開布萊恩斯 2 號監獄,等待檢察官辦公室、自訴方和辯方提出上訴後的最終判決。 檢察院和自訴方要求加重刑罰,拒絕賠償損害的減刑情節,但辯方卻指出恰恰相反,認為減刑情節非常合格,可以進一步減輕刑罰。強加的。
