• Alves was released from Brians 2 prison in Spain on Monday
• He is appealing the four-and-half-year sentence given to him

Dani Alves reportedly partied until the wee hours of the morning following his release from jail on Monday, March 25.

Alves was released just a few months after he was convicted of sexual assault in an incident which is said to have taken place in December 2022.

The former full-back has been in custody since January of last year before he was handed a four-and-a-half-year sentence in February.

He was also required to pay a fine of up to €150,000 in damages to the victim. The protection has signalled its intent to appeal the verdict, seeking a longer sentence, while Alves wants to be cleared of the charges altogether.

He will appeal the case from home after he agreed to the rules that will govern the terms of his bond. It was reported that he was released on a €1million bond.

The 40-year-old also surrendered his Spanish and Brazilian passports to the court.
