Although he was found guilty and sentenced less than a month ago to four and a half years in prison, Dani Alves could already be out of his cell. According to Spanish journalist Carlos Quilez, the former right-back requested provisional release while waiting for a final judgment to be rendered against him.
In a request made by his lawyer, Ines Guardiola, the Brazilian would like to go out while waiting for a final decision to be rendered in this rape case, for which he was found guilty at first instance. According to the Spanish press, “it’s 50/50” regarding his request for release. The Barcelona Court of Appeal is due to deliver its decision around 9 a.m. Tuesday March 19.
