Dani Alves sentenced to four and a half years in prison for rape of a young woman. Court orders that the footballer remains a preventive prisoner, but will review his personal situation again when an appeal is filed against the ruling.

In the worst scenario for Alves and according to the law, his situation as a preventive cannot be extended for more than another 14 months. If the TSJC ratifies the sentence, Alves will still have one last option: an appeal to the Supreme Court.
