The Barcelona Court yesterday decreed bail of one million euros for the soccer player Dani Alves by partially upholding the appeal launched by the defense lawyer. The court has considered that the situation has changed considerably and that there is no longer the great risk of flight that existed at the beginning of the legal procedure.
Once he pays the bail, Alves will be able to go out on the street, but he will not be able to travel outside our borders (his passports, both Spanish and Brazilian, will be withdrawn) or approach or communicate with the victim. In addition, the Brazilian will have to go to sign weekly in court.
Dani Alves was arrested on September 20, 2023 for an alleged sexual assault on a young woman in the bathroom of the Sutton nightclub in Barcelona. Although he initially denied all the facts and declared himself innocent, the athlete ended up acknowledging that he had had sex with the alleged victim, but assured that he had been consensual at all times.
The decision of the National Court has given rise to much talk in the last few hours in our country. Criticism of the laws, hundreds of comments on networks questioning whether the judicial system is the same for rich and poor… a social scandal.
As it could not be otherwise, the great Wyoming began his monologue of the last program talking about the imminent release of the man who was a player for F. C. Barcelona for more than seven years.
”Being rich opens doors to places, but we already knew that. But today we have also discovered that money can open other doors for you, such as those of prison,” the comedian began. ”That’s right, Dani Alves will be provisionally released when he deposits bail of one million euros. The player is convicted to four and a half years in prison for raping a girl in the bathrooms of a nightclub. Well, to walk down the street he only has to hand over his passport, appear in court once a week and deposit a bail of one million of euros,” the presenter continued, visibly upset with the situation.
The host of the La Sexta program wanted to make it clear that Alves earned 10 million euros a year when he played for Barcelona, ??so the bail amount does not represent a great challenge for him: ”This decision by the Barcelona Court “It can leave us with the feeling that there is justice for the rich and another for the poor and that for some people committing crimes comes very cheaply, since money provides them with a certain impunity.” ”Anyone would say that privileged classes still exist, as if we were still in the Middle Ages,” the comedian stated bluntly.
Wyoming’s speech has been widely applauded on social networks such as X (formerly known as Twitter), since many people from our country and around the world share their thoughts and indignation.
