The new reality of Dani Alves after spending fourteen months in jail

Dani Alves's life took a 180º turn on January 20, 2023 when he entered Brians 2 prison accused of sexual assault of a young woman at the Sutton nightclub in Barcelona. Afterwards, the trial would come and a disputed sentence of four and a half years in prison. The payment of 150,000 euros as compensation to the victim served as a mitigating circumstance to reduce the sentence.

On that occasion, Neymar's father disbursed the money, just as has now happened with that million euros of bail that allowed him to leave the cell. It is a conditional release until the sentence becomes final. Thus, the footballer, whose Spanish and Brazilian passport has been withdrawn, cannot leave Spain and must appear weekly in court.

Joana Sanz's immediate reaction upon hearing the news that Alves would leave prison was to delete her Instagram account and activate it a few hours before he left prison. The Canarian model has suffered media attention since her husband went to prison. It is evident that the couple's life has changed a lot since December 2022. First there was talk of separation and divorce, but, after the first weeks, Sanz assured that he was not going to leave his partner alone in "the most difficult moment of his life". As a balance of 2023, the model published: "To those of us who had to be strong this year, may it be our turn to be happy in 2024." Therefore, it is not certain what will happen to the footballer's marriage.

At the time the facts that Alves was accused of were known, the Brazilian was a player for the National University Club, popularly known as the UNAM Pumas, a job for which he received about $300,000 a month according to what was published when he was fired. for the Mexican soccer club. It was revealed by the president of the entity, Leopoldo Silva. It is unknown if the footballer plans to work during this probation until the sentence is final.

Before the night of December 30, 2022, the Brazilian's taste for night plans was already well known. He was a regular at the Barcelona nightlife, something that even bothered the club's directors, as some of them even occurred while he was injured and when he had to rest. After these months of scandal, it is evident that the nightlife is not going to welcome him back like the triumphant former Barça player who often returned to the city.

Ibiza, Marbella, Mexico, Brazil, Maldives... In recent years Alves has been seen enjoying various destinations to rest and disconnect, but for now the footballer's time as a traveler has run out. The Barcelona Court agreed to the release of Dani Alves in exchange for a bail of one million euros and the withdrawal of his passports. Upon release from prison, Alves must appear in court weekly and will not be able to leave the country.
