Dani Alves was freed because the Spanish legal system ruled that he could be released on bail since he had spent almost half of his official sentence period in prison during the court procedure.
The court slammed a one million euros bail on him, which he had met earlier today, March 25.
Note that this freedom is not total because the passports of the 40-year-old Brazilian football icon have been submitted to the Spanish authorities, which means he can’t leave the country until his jail term expires.
Dani Alves is also expected to report himself at the court once a week until his jail term expires.
Recall that the prosecuting counsel has appealed the bail ruling. If the council wins the appeal, the retired Brazil international will return to prison to continue serving his jail term.
