But not a million-dollar buyout…
Ex-football star Dani Alves (40), who was convicted of rape, actually wanted to buy his way out on bail. But for now the Brazilian has to remain in prison in Spain.

Fixed bail of 1 million euros
According to judicial sources, his lawyer was unable to raise the money by a deadline on Friday afternoon. Therefore, a release from prison before the weekend was not possible. If he gets hold of the money over the weekend, he won’t be able to appear in court again until Monday at the earliest.
Background: In February, Alves was found guilty of raping a young woman in a discotheque in Barcelona in 2022. He was sentenced to four years and six months in prison. In addition to a further five years of probation and a compensation payment of 150,000 euros to the victim.

Following the verdict, Alves’ legal team filed an appeal and requested his provisional release.
A court in Barcelona then decided on Wednesday to release Alves from prison on bail of one million euros. This caused an uproar. The rape victim’s lawyer called the decision a “scandal” and dubbed it “justice for the rich.”
Since the former football professional was arrested in January 2023 due to the risk of fleeing, his financial situation has deteriorated significantly.
In order to be released from prison, Alves must, in addition to paying bail, surrender his Spanish and Brazilian passports and appear in court weekly.
