A year and a month after his entry into prison, Dani Alves was sentenced last February to four years and six months in prison for the sexual assault he committed on the night of December 30, 2022 in a renowned nightclub in Barcelona. Last Wednesday, the National Court of Barcelona granted provisional freedom to the former Barcelona Football Club player with a bail of one million euros. The actor Jaime Lorente, who is known for always expressing his opinion without mincing words, has spoken out on this matter.
The conviction of Dani Alves has been one of the most talked about topics in recent weeks. Apart from the four and a half years in prison, the Barcelona Court also imposed five years of supervised freedom, removal and incommunicado detention from the victim for nine years and six months, as well as compensation of 150,000 euros and payment of the cost of the trial. . However, this week it was learned that the athlete can be released if he pays bail of one million euros.
The news has provoked a large number of reactions from all levels of society, from politics to culture. The last to speak out was the actor Jaime Lorente, who gave his opinion on the case. If something characterizes the actor from La Casa de Papel, it is his lack of fear when it comes to raising his voice on matters that he does not believe are fair.
The actor has been blunt about the case that has implicated Dani Alves. “I believe that no crime can be compensated by paying anything, crimes have to be paid for in prison,” the actor said in a statement to Europa Press. “Justice is different for the rich than for the poor, if you have money to get out of a sentence it doesn’t seem right to me,” he declared, very bluntly and indignant at the sentence.
As for Dani Alves, he is still unable to pay the bail of one million euros to be provisionally released, which is why he still remains in prison. According to legal sources, Alves’ defense was unable to deposit the amount necessary for the footballer’s freedom this Friday, despite requesting an extension of one hour. Alves will remain in the Brians 2 prison all weekend, since the office that is in charge of these procedures will not reopen until Monday. We will have to wait to know what finally happens.
