Alves was found guilty in February and sentenced to four years and six months in prison for assaulting a woman at a nightclub in 2022. He has been incarcerated since his arrest in January 2023, with previous bail requests denied due to concerns about him fleeing.From College Courts to NBA Draft: The Ochai Agbaji Journey Through March Madness
In order to secure his release now, Alves must not only post bail but also surrender his Brazilian and Spanish passports, effectively barring him from leaving the country. Both his defense and the state prosecutor have appealed the verdict. His defense seeks acquittal, while the prosecutor aims to increase his sentence to nine years. A date for the new trial in a higher court in Barcelona has not been set, and the case may eventually reach the Supreme Court in Madrid.Transfer News: Joao Felix, Chelsea’s Left-Back Pursuits, and More
