Dani Alves has paid the bail that the Barcelona Court has imposed on him to get out of prison. The Brazilian will leave the prison more than a year and two months after having entered when the court considers that the function of the provisional prison It cannot in any case be to advance the effects of a hypothetical sentence that could be imposed on the accused.
According to journalist Mayka Navarro in the program Let’s see on Telecinco, Alves’ release from the Brians 2 prison could occur in the next few hours: His lawyer Ins Guardiola has informed him by phone that they have already been able to raise that million euros that allows him to leave prison this Monday.

Dani Alves had been in provisional prison for fourteen months, a condition that could not be extended beyond another thirteen months. The reason is that this situation can only be extended for 50% of the proposed sentence. In the hypothetical case of exceeding that time period, the court would have had to release the Brazilian until there was a final ruling.
Therefore, the The Provincial Court of Catalonia has probably estimated that the time to wait for this final verdict to exist could be greater than 13 months.. And once the case comes out of the Superior Court of Justice of Catalonia, one of the parties could present an appeal for cassation before the Supreme Court.

To try to avoid this, the Court has withdrawn both his Spanish and Brazilian passports and, in addition, has forced him to appear weekly in court. Documents that have been deposited in the Barcelona Court early this Monday.
