Dani Alves’ sentence period
Alves has been found guilty of the accusations regarding sexual assault on ra*e charges. The former Barcelona and Brazil international has faced a severe sentence period laid upon him by the Spanish court. The 40-year-old’s trial was vastly covered by the media.
It has been termed that Dani Alves is sentenced to jail for about four years and six months. Reports hint that he has initially begun serving his sentence period. The sexual assault incident pertains to the former player assaulting a woman in a nightclub in Barcelona city of Spain.

Reports also suggest that this sum of money has not much to do with Dani Alves’s sentence period. It would rather be devoted towards paying the party against the 40-year-old, the sum of fines as laid upon by the court of justice. Neymar Jr. had played alongside Alves during their time together at the La Liga giants FC Barcelona and Brazil national team.
