According to the source, the money was never paid, meaning Alves will remain behind bars for at least another 24 hours. The footballer himself cannot afford to pay 1 million euros for temporary release, because during the trial it turned out that he had financial difficulties.
Recall that in January last year, 40-year-old Dani Alves was accused of raping a girl in the Sutton nightclub in Barcelona. On January 20, the ex-footballer was taken into police custody. Subsequently, he was sentenced to 4.5 years in prison, as well as to pay €150,000 to the victim as moral compensation. At the same time, the Spanish prosecutor’s office was considering appealing the court’s decision, saying Alves should spend more time in prison.
