But it has now emerged that he god a help from his former teammate Neymar, who basically saved him from getting a nine (or 12) years in prison.PSGBrazil Barcelona The Bromace Between Neymar and Dani Alves 🇧🇷❤️ pic.twitter.com/yk17J8QPNl— 𝒄𝒐𝒐𝒑😮💨 (@realnii00) February 23, 2024 The matter is quite absurd, considering that the difference being in prison for four or nine years is only 150.000 euros (23.627.854 shillings)! According to reports to Brazilian outlet UOL, state prosecutors wanted him jailed for nine years and a lawyer acting for his victim had demanded he was caged for 12 years if convicted. However, a ‘mitigating factor’ in his sentencing was a pre-payment of the 150,000 euros he was ordered to give his victim as compensation. The report claims the amount – which the Spanish Court ordered Alves to pay – is to be given to the victim for moral damages and injuries caused by the ordeal, with it playing a large role in reducing the length of the sentence.Dani Alves sentenced to four and a half years in prison for nightclub rapeNeymar’s family not only paid the amount, but they also helped Alves by giving him their family attorney Gustavo Xisto to oversee the legal proceedings. He already announced that his client will appeal to the sentence, but as expected, until that happens, the Brazilian will stay in prison. After all, he is already behind bars for over a year and that time will be included in his sentence. Apart from four and a half years, Alves was given a further five years parole and a nine-and-a-half year restraining order preventing him from contacting his victim or going near her.Alves testifies for the rape charge, sentence expected soonThree judges sentenced Dani Alves for toilet rape in an upmarket Barcelona nightclub Sutton in the early hours of December 31, 2022.“He tried to penetrate his victim by making use of his greater strength and throwing her on the floor and making her bang her knee.
