After two days of seeking bail, Daniel Alves remains in prison for the weekend; see details
After obtaining the preventive decision to leave during the process of appealing the sentence received, the former Brazilian player, Daniel Alves, was unable to obtain the money needed to pay bail, and will remain in prison this weekend. According to the Catalan newspaper “La Vanguardia”, he took out a loan, which did not arrive on time.
At 40 years old, the Brazilian was convicted of sexual abuse in Barcelona, Spain, and will serve a sentence of four and a half years in prison. Despite this, both the prosecution and the defense appealed the decision, and the player’s lawyers obtained a suspensive effect so that he is free during the period of new deliberation of the case.
Dinei, former Corinthians player, talks about Daniel Alves and Robinho.
“I’m not going to let the rapist down. They have to pay, because I went through this with my family, with my daughter in 2010.

According to the newspaper already mentioned, Daniel’s lawyers have been talking to the bank since before the provisional release decision was taken. For the player to get out of prison, Daniel needs to pay 1 million euros (around R$5 million), but he cannot use his fortune as it has been frozen since the early days of the case.
It is worth remembering that the family of Neymara close friend of the athlete, even helped him financially during the process, but the player’s father Al Hilal promised not to do any more. Therefore, the former Brazilian national team defender will have to find another way to make the payment to leave prison in Barcelona.
