14 months later, Dani Alves will hit the street again. The Barcelona Court has decreed bail of one million euros for the Brazilian footballer by partially upholding the appeal launched by the defense lawyer, Inés Guardiola.
Although the court has ordered his release from temporary prison by paying the million-dollar amount, it has ordered the withdrawal of his passport (both the Spanish and the Brazilian), so he will not be able to leave Spain. In addition, Alves will have to appear in court weekly. Until the court ruling is final, the Brazilian athlete will also not be able to get closer than one kilometer to the victim or “communicate with her by any means or procedure.”
The court has decreed that the initial reduction in sentence requested for the accused also implies a reduction in the risk of flight, something that has been taken into account when decreeing Alves’ provisional release.
The social response from the player’s environment has not been long in coming. While all eyes were on Joana Sanz, the soccer player’s mother has uploaded a series of stories to her official Instagram account in which she shows her happiness over the decision of the Spanish Court.
”Thank you, my God, all honor and glory to my Lord,” he wrote in a first photo in which the woman can be seen smilingly hugging her son long before he was accused of rape and spent 14 months in prison. the jail.
”Victory has come for the honor and glory of the Lord. Thank you God,’ said the woman, visibly excited and happy about the imminent release of her son from prison. Thanks to these communications, we can see that the family of the elite athlete is a faithful believer, which is why they have not hesitated to thank God for the decision of the National Court of Barcelona.
While Alves’ family, friends and people close to him have shown their happiness on social networks, thousands of users from around the world have posted indignant and angry comments on the Internet.
”Patriarchal Justice is not the same for everyone”, ”Outrageous judicial decision”, ”Machismo with money always wins out”, ”In this country, money solves everything. Everything except the trauma and pain it leaves in the lives of the victims” or ”It would be good not to give people more reasons to stop trusting the system” are some of the comments on the subject that can be read on X (formerly known as Twitter).
