Yesterday in Spain the fig trees were suddenly depopulated. We knew that money opens doors, even that of cells. We knew that rape can be very cheap, law of only yes is yes through. We knew that justice is equal for all, except if you have money. We already knew all this. But that three magistrates from the Audiencia de Barcelona, ??a skilled lawyer and a man who thought he was touched by God rub it in our faces as if we were idiots, so how to say it… Well, let’s get started. Wow if it works.
If this tremendous lowering of the fig tree hurts us, if we read it as an insult to the victims, imagine what the woman who the footballer raped in the toilet of a nightclub must feel now. For her there are no palliatives.
The convicted rapist Alves is released from prison because the rich Alves can afford to pay 1 million euros. He failed to make fame pay for his innocence. Yes, he has succeeded in making money buy him an easier and shorter path to freedom. This gentleman has estimated assets of 55 million, at the moment on stand by, frozen, so that he will not even pay the bail of the million but Neymar’s father will do it on his behalf.
Of course, all in accordance with the law. A law that no one understands from common sense, which is not precisely that of Justice. Alves should be very grateful to ex-minister Montero and her lawyer. In the first, because the only yes is yes law lowered the penalty for sexual assault with penetration, which went from 4 to 12 years (previously, from 6 to 12). And in the second to decide to enter 150,000 euros, brave that brat for the Brazilian as mitigation for repairing the damage and, therefore, as a significant reduction of the penalty. Four and a half year sentence for rape. And Alves completes a quarter. Cheap, cheap
The Brazilian will go home to wait for the final verdict. They take away his passport. According to the only magistrate of the court who disagreed with the provisional release, he could escape, he has money or friends with money. I suspect it’s better for him to wait for the sentence to be final and enjoy prison benefits soon. But let’s know if his divine head happens to play it again.
