The Futebol Etc column took the lead and suggested, this Wednesday (20th – as soon as Jornal de Brasília released the news of Daniel Alves’ release – that the bail required by the Barcelona Court, in the amount of 1 million euros (almost R$ 600 thousand), could be paid by Neymar.
Remember that, months ago, it was the Neymar clan who lent him 150,000 euros (R$808,000) to compensate the Spanish woman for the victim of sexual assault that sent him to prison.
It is now known, according to information from La Vanguardia, that Daniel Alves turned to the same Neymar clan to pay the bail that led to his release.
The Barcelona Court responded favorably to the request for provisional release made by the former Barça player, sentenced to four and a half years in prison in February for the rape of a young girl in December 2022, upon payment of ‘bail set at one million euros .
The lawyer for the young woman whose rape earned Brazilian footballer Dani Alves a four-and-a-half-year prison sentence has denounced a Barcelona court’s decision to release him on bail, considering it “justice for the rich”.
“It is a scandal that we let a person go free when we know that they can raise a million euros in an instant,” said Me Ester García, referring to the bail amount. “It seems like justice is being done for the rich,” she told Catalan radio station RAC-1.
