The Treasury must return Alves 1.2 million that the player wants to use as collateral to request his provisional release. The soccer player was sentenced this week by the Barcelona Court to four and a half years in prison for raping a young woman in a Barcelona nightclub in 2022.

Alves has had all his bank accounts frozen since his arrest, so he cannot use his money. Added to this is the judicial process opened in Brazil by his ex-wife Dinorah Santana for the support of her two children, which has led to the seizure of his entire capital.
