In a dramatic turn of events, former Brazilian international footballer Dani Alves has been released from prison after paying a €1 million ($1.2 million) bail, according to a court statement issued on Monday.
Alves was arrested in February on suspicion of sexual assault. He has vehemently denied the allegations.
The court in Barcelona approved the bail request on the condition that Alves surrenders his passport and appears in court whenever summoned.
This development marks a significant shift in the case. Alves had been held in pre-trial detention since his arrest, a period that has seen significant media attention and public outcry.
The legal proceedings against Alves are ongoing. While he is no longer behind bars, he is still facing serious charges. It is important to note that this bail decision does not signify guilt or innocence.
We will continue to follow this story as it develops and provide updates on the upcoming court appearances.
