Dani Alves turns to Neymar's father to pay bail and be released today

Dani Alves has turned to Neymar's father to pay bail to be released this Wednesday, as sources close to him have confirmed to La Vanguardia. The Barcelona Court has decreed the release of the footballer after payment of a deposit of one million euros that the footballer will pay thanks to the deposit made by the father of his friend Neymar with the intention of being released this Wednesday. According to sources close to the player, the former FC Barcelona player will opt for the same route that he already resorted to to pay the 150,000 euros that the investigating court required to compensate the victim of the rape, money that also served as a mitigating circumstance. to reduce the sentence to four and a half years.

The footballer's lawyer, Inés Guardiola, is pulling all the strings to comply with the bail resolution issued by the Barcelona Court. She is collecting Alves's Spanish and Brazilian passports to hand them over to justice while her advisors collect the million euros to deposit as bail. Alves has all of his assets seized by a judicial procedure opened with his ex-wife and mother of his children in Brazil that prevent him from being able to make the payment. Neymar's father made himself available to Alves to help him defray the costs of the judicial procedure while he had the assets frozen.

Another avenue that the footballer can resort to is the money that the Treasury must return to him after having won several proceedings in the National Court thanks to the appeals presented by his tax lawyer, Fernando Mota Bosch, from the BDO Abogados firm. According to sources close to the Tax Agency, this Wednesday the Treasury gave Dani Alves' representatives a certificate with the execution of two sentences and which the footballer could use as a payment guarantee before the court to be released. The execution of these sentences amounts to 6.8 million euros.

The Court of Barcelona has decreed Dani Alves' release on bail, understanding that the risk of escape has decreased once the sentence has imposed a sentence less than the 9 or 12 years in prison that the accusations demanded for him. The decision has not been unanimous and a magistrate has issued a dissenting opinion, understanding that he had exhausted preventive detention until Alves had served half of the sentence.
