Brazilian footballer Dani Alves (40) was sentenced to four and a half years in prison for raping a woman in the bathroom of a Barcelona nightclub.
The decision was made this Thursday by a Catalan court, although we will have to wait for the turn of the appeals to know if the sentence is final;
In that case, Dani Alves could begin to be released from prison in July of next year.
By then he would have served a third of his sentence.
With a final sentence and good behavior, he could spend weekends at home only in April 2025.
It's what Alves wants most right now.
This was made known to Joana, his wife, in a letter that he sent her and that she, by mistake, made public for a few minutes on her Instagram account.
“Within my imperfection, I learned that I cannot dedicate my time to what was, but rather transform my energy into what is.
And what it is, is that you are what I dreamed of,” Alves wrote.
Joana Sanz and Dani Alves after their marriage.
“What I dreamed of and what I continue to dream of.
I want to take all the paths with you.
I didn't have the wrong woman, yes, it was you.
There is not a single day, not a single moment, not a single plan in which you are not there,” she added.
“I pray every day for the day to come that I can see you wake up.
Nostalgia is not not being able to do it now,” the letter to Joana says.
And so it ends: “Wherever, whatever, whatever, but with you by my side always.
I feel bad feelings.
"Love you."
