Dani Alves about to be released from prison
Brazilian footballer Dani Alves is scheduled to be provisionally released from Brians 2 prison today after posting €1m bail. This freedom is conditioned on the progress of the judicial case, since the sentence, which was minimal, is not yet firm and there are resources to try to increase it. Although it is not clear where he will get the money, he is expected to pay it in the next few hours.
The payment of the bond
Bail, according to legal sources, is an amount that serves to prove that he will not run away. In the event of a leak, Alves would lose the money. In addition, the bond must be deposited in a court bank account and can be made by one or several guarantors, as long as the transfers arrive. Once the magistrates receive the proof, their provisional release will be processed.
Provisional release conditions
In case of provisional release, Alves will have to appear weekly in court. The criminal procedure law states that if you do not meet this condition, the property will be awarded to the State immediately.
Return of the deposit
If the sentence is upheld and Alves is acquitted, or if he has to serve the sentence in prison, his bond will be returned. Otherwise, the deposit will be forfeited.
Destination of the deposit in case of loss
In case of loss of the bond, it will be handed over to the Tax Agency, but only a part will be used to cover court costs, while the rest will be awarded to the State.
Amount of the bond
The bail of 1 million euros imposed on Dani Alves is high due to the nature of the crime and the social status of the defendant, according to the law. This reflects the consideration of the Brazilian footballer’s privileged social status by the Barcelona Court.
