Ex PSG Player Dani Alves is free, but he had to pay for it

Dani Alves made a promise to the court: not to flee if released.

Spanish judiciary has agreed, on conditions.

Dani Alves had his appeal reviewed by the Spanish judiciary, regarding his conviction for sexual assault. He promised not to flee.

Daniel Alves, sentenced to four and a half years in prison for sexual assault, has been serving his sentence behind bars for over a year. However, he was released this Wednesday, as his lawyers argued for his acquittal, claiming that the sexual relations were consensual.

The player had broken his silence to request his release and stated that he had no intention of fleeing. « I believe in justice, I will not flee, » he told the judge, as reported by AS.

The player is granted provisional freedom by the Barcelona court, pending the outcome of his appeal, under two conditions: paying a one million euro bail and surrendering his Brazilian and Spanish passports.
