Dani Alves was sentenced to four and a half years in prison for sexual abuse. On Wednesday, a Spanish court decided to release him from prison - provided Alves pays bail.
The Neymars paid for the deposit; Alves himself would not have been able to pay it. Alves is said to be waiting in Spain for a tax refund worth several million euros. Partial amounts in his accounts in Brazil are blocked due to a legal dispute with his ex-wife Dinorah Santana.
