OFFICIAL: Barcelona Court release Alves on bail of €1m pending final sentence
OFFICIAL: Barcelona Court has released Dani Alves on bail of €1m pending his final sentence. He had previously served one year and two months in prison.
Dani Alves has paid a €1 million bail and will be temporarily released, but his passport is confiscated, and he must appear in court weekly until his final sentence.
Yesterday the court held a hearing on whether it was a temporary incident, and Alves attended by video, during which he said: I will not run away, I believe in justice, and I will always be at the mercy of justice.
On February 22, local time, the Barcelona court convicted Alves of rape and sentenced him to 4 years and 6 months in prison.

The case has entered the second instance stage.
