The father of Brazilian footballer Neymar Jr has announced in a statement on his social networks that he will not pay the bail of one million euros that the Barcelona Court imposed yesterday for Dani Alves, sentenced to four and a half years in prison for sexual assault, can leave the Brians 2 penitentiary center, at least until the sentence is final.
In a public writing on Instagram, Neymar’s father said: “As everyone knows, at the beginning I helped Dani Alves, without any connection with any lawsuit,” which is why he acknowledged that it was he who paid the 150,000 euros of reparations to the victim that later helped Alves so that his sentence was less.
However, he added that “in this second moment, in a situation different from the previous one, in which the Spanish Courts have already ruled in favor of the sentence, there is speculation and an attempt is made to associate my name and that of my son with a matter that no longer belongs to us today.
“I hope that Daniel finds with his own family all the answers he is looking for. For us, for my family, the matter is over,” he concluded forcefully, without leaving any doubt that he will not be the one to help the former Brazilian soccer player financially so that can get out of prison.
Given the Brazilian’s refusal, Dani Alves’ lawyer, Inés Guardiola, continues to look for where to get the amount that will be used to allow Alves to be provisionally released. For now, having not been able to raise the necessary million euros, the Brazilian will spend at least one more night in Catalan prison.
