Dani Alves Granted Bail Amidst Sexual Assault Conviction Appeal

Footballer Dani Alves – who was convicted of sexual assault and sentenced to 4 and a half years earlier this year – has been granted bail pending appeal on a 1 million euros bond.

The victim’s lawyer criticized the decision, after the court said the player had to hand over a million euros, as well as surrender his Spanish and Brazilian passports.

Following the ruling, the state prosecutor said they aim to increase Alves’ sentence to nine years, with a new trial pending.
