Dani Alves was sentenced to four and a half years in prison for rape. He will also be required to pay a fine of € 150 thousand to the victim.
The prosecution demanded that the Brazilian be sent to prison for a longer term, but the punishment was commuted. The defense continues to believe in the innocence of the famous football player and plans to appeal the court’s decision. However, if the appeal fails, Alves can still avoid imprisonment if his extradition to his homeland is approved.
