Ex-Barcelona Star Dani Alves Has Rape Conviction Overturned
A Spanish appeals court overturned Friday former Brazil international footballer Dani Alves' rape conviction, citing insufficient evidence. Alves was sentenced to four-and-a-half years in jail in February last year for raping a young woman in the VIP bathroom of a Barcelona nightclub on December 31, 2022. The 41-year-old, who won the Champions League three-times with Barcelona, was released from jail last March pending his appeal after he posted the one million euros ($1.1million) bail set by the court. The Barcelona-based appeals court said its four judges had "unanimously" accepted the player's appeal and "annulled" his conviction, saying there was "insufficient evidence" to prove he was guilty.
