Dani Alves will not leave prison helped, in some way, by Neymar. This Thursday, the father of the Brazilian footballer also clarified through a statement that the provisional freedom of the former Barça player will not depend on his former teammate and his surroundings. Therefore, neither Neymar da Silva nor his son are going to pay the bail of one million euros necessary for the person convicted of sexual assault to be released from prison.

“As everyone knows, at the beginning I helped Dani Alves, who was not linked to any lawsuit,” begins the statement that Neymar’s father made public through Instagram. “In this second moment, in a situation different from the previous one, in which the Spanish courts have already ruled in favor of the sentence, there is speculation and an attempt is made to associate my name and that of my son with a matter that today no longer exists.” It is up to us,” he says below.

“I hope that Daniel finds in his own family all the answers he is looking for. For us, for my family, the matter is over,” Neymar da Silva makes very clear at the end of the note. At the moment, Dani Alves depends on a financial sum to be free, after the Barcelona Court decreed it so.

Although Alves had planned to turn to Neymar’s father again to obtain the necessary million, he was met with a resounding ‘no’ from him. At the time, Neymar da Silva did contribute to the payment of the compensation of 150,000 euros for the victim that was imposed on the player for his conviction. Since the necessary amount was not paid before 2:00 p.m., Alves will spend one more night in prison, without knowing yet how long his confinement will last.

The main reason for adopting the decision to release him is that Alves’ risk of escape has been “reduced”: although the possibility still exists, it can be counteracted with the rest of the conditions that have been imposed on the athlete. Although the decision on his freedom was majority, a magistrate voted against, considering that the threat of the former Barça defender fleeing has been “strengthened.”
