Dani Alves has been released from prison having successfully raised the one million euros required for bail after serving over 14 months in jail.

It can be recalled that on Wednesday, March 20, the Court of Barcelona granted his provisional release despite a private vote to the contrary. After protracted negotiations spanning several days, the football player has finally been able to raise the sum with help from friends and colleagues.

According to reports, the Neymar family were among the major contributors who supported Alves with 150,000 euros after his accounts were blocked.

In addition to posting bail, the Brazilian handed over his passports (Brazilian and Spanish). He is also forbidden from leaving the country. The court also retrains Alves from approaching the victim.
