Alves partied until 5am in the morning at his villa in Esplugues de Llobrega following his release from prison, according to Telecinco (via <a href="https://www.tycsports.com/interes-general/fiesta-dani-alves-tras-salir-prision-id573941.html" target="_blank">TyC Sports</a>). The party was to celebrate Alves's father's birthday, with the former Barcelona defender starting off in a restaurant before heading home to continue into the early hours.

WHAT HAPPENED?

The party reportedly came just a day after Alves was released from prison on bail. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/dani-alves-released-from-jail-finally-paying-eur1m-bail-following-rape-conviction-ex-wife-claims-former-barcelona-defender-dead-to-her/blt3d2d4ca946328b8a#csf530f518b0ddb72c" target="_blank">Alves was allowed to walk free</a> having spent 14 months behind bars, after his €1 million (£850,00/$1.09m) bail bond was paid. Alves has appealed his conviction after being found guilty of rape and <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/former-barcelona-star-dani-alves-sentenced-four-years-jail-after-being-found-guilty-of-sexual-assault/blt072303227d66cc51" target="_blank">sentenced to four years and six months in jail</a> and is now awaiting a final verdict. The Brazilian has also had to give up his passports and must attend court on a weekly basis as part of his bail terms.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

There has been speculation over how Alves managed to pay his bail bond. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/neymar-s-father-pay-barcelona-dani-alves-eur1-million-bail/bltcf77bd8ae4b383db" target="_blank">Neymar's father has denied rumours that he paid the money</a> to ensure the Brazilian's release, while former Barcelona team-mate Memphis Depay's agent has also insisted the Dutchman was not involved. Sebastien Ledure told Informativos Telecinco: "This is fake news. It is false news, it is not true at all."

WHAT HAS BEEN SAID ABOUT ALVES

The 40-year-old may be able to enjoy his freedom for some time. According to <a href="https://www.marca.com/tiramillas/actualidad/2024/03/26/6602fbd1ca4741d0308b4576.html" target="_blank">Marca</a>, his appeal may not be heard until the start of 2025.
