After 14 months and five days, this Monday at 4:30 p.m. in Spain,
Dani Alves
breathed free air again
.
He is no longer behind bars.
The former soccer player
managed to pay the bail
of one million euros that grants him provisional freedom
, at least until the judicial process headed by the Barcelona Court that sentences him to four and a half years in prison is final, after being denounced for abusing a young woman in a nightclub, in December 2022.
Already enjoying his first hours of freedom, after leaving the Brians 2 prison in Barcelona,
the former Brazilian full-back tries to resume the lifestyle he maintained before being imprisoned
.
This is how, accompanied by his lawyer
Inés Guardiola
and continually looking ahead despite a demonstration surrounding him protesting his freedom,
Alves got into a car that was waiting for his departure.
The owner of the vehicle is his friend Bruno Brasil
, a colleague who was present on the night of the alleged abuse.
In the few steps he took to the car,
The 40-year-old player
avoided answering any questions
that the journalists present at the prison asked him
.
The first thing the Brazilian did was go to his mansion
valued at five million euros.
Alves preferred to remain silent and went home without speaking.

The entire Spanish television broadcast Alves' exit from the prison and was surprised by the surprise that awaited him when he arrived at the door of his house: "“The most… I don't know if strong, outrageous… The most striking thing is that a few minutes after When Alves arrived at his home, what you will see below happened. What did they bring to Alves? Nothing more and nothing less than a bouquet of flowers. He received a bouquet of flowers. He obviously did not go out to pick up that bouquet. "Someone has left the service," claimed the Spanish presenter Beatriz Archidona.
Dani Alves' release from prison and empty nest
According to what they say from Spain, Alves did not make any decision to release without first saying goodbye to the inmates who accompanied him during the last year.
He gave them all the clothes that his family gave him on each visit
,
as well as a television and a fan
.
That is why when the cameras captured the Brazilian leaving the prison he was not carrying any bag with personal belongings.
Much of the clothing that he gave would be sports style, which he wore for each of the games that were played between the prisoners on a daily basis.
In addition, he would also have left a Bible
to practice religious reading.
With his head held high: this is how Alves left prison while a protest against him was taking place.

Dani Alves' departure from the Brians 2 prison was quite tense: he heard shouts of "I'm not yours" from some protesters, as he headed to a white car that was waiting for him from the street, and with officers following him at a close distance. .
In addition, there were also protests by prison staff at the site because in another prison in Catalonia, a cook was murdered by a prisoner, who then committed suicide.
A few hours passed before the Brazilian received his first blow of reality and came across the first big change in his new life:
his ex-wife Joana Sanz is not residing at home
.
According to the program broadcast from Miami,
El Gordo y Flaca
, the woman would have left the residence the night before the Brazilian returned.
"We know that Joana does not want to return to her husband and Alves is handling this very badly
," commented a photographer from the television series.
Likewise, the former Barcelona idol (after the conviction, he was removed from the museum of glories) will not be alone:
his parents and brothers are on a trip to Barcelona to begin physically accompanying him in this new process
.
Furthermore, this Wednesday is his father's birthday, so they will try to celebrate the date all together.
On what was the first night, with some family members keeping company,
a delivery man was seen approaching the mansion to deliver a hamburger.
Possibly it was a request to satisfy one of Alves's many cravings during the last 14 months.
