Alves partied all night after being released from prison.

Spain Former Barca defender Dani Alves celebrated with family and friends after being released on bail after 15 months in prison for rape.

Alves was released on bail pending appeal and left Brians 2 prison on March 25, after posting a $1.08 million bail. A day later, according to Diario Sport , the 40-year-old former defender partied until 5 a.m. with family and friends at his private villa in the Esplugues de Llobregat district of Barcelona.

Alves was accused of raping a 23-year-old woman in a Barcelona nightclub in December 2022, and was arrested a month later. In February 2024, the former Barca star was sentenced to four and a half years in prison. Alves was later released on bail pending appeal, but had to surrender his Spanish and Brazilian passports and report to court once a week.

Alves could have been released earlier if he had raised $1.08 million in bail. According to his lawyer, Ines Guardiola, his client has two Spanish bank accounts, one with no balance and one with $55,000, while the judicial confiscation is $54,000.

Alves was once said to have a fortune of $60 million, but his Brazilian accounts were frozen due to issues with his ex-wife Dinorah Santana. The former footballer is expected to receive $11.6 million after his tax lawyer Fernando Mota won four cases against the Spanish tax authorities. The bail hearing for Alves also noted that the defendant will receive "a large sum" from the treasury.

Former teammate Neymar's father was said to be helping Alves pay the bail in advance, but later denied doing so due to pressure from Brazil. Former teammate Memphis Depay's agent also denied that his client had paid the bail. "It's fake news and completely untrue," agent Sebastien Ledure told Informativos Telecinco .

Alves has won 43 titles, including three Champions Leagues, six La Ligas with Barca and two UEFA Cups with Sevilla. He also won two Copa Americas with Brazil and a 2021 Olympic gold medal with the U23 team. In his generation, Alves is considered the best right-back in the world .
