A few days ago, football fans were surprised by the news that Brazilian football star Dani Alves was temporarily released from prison.

Indeed, in order for the former defender to breathe the air of freedom again, his relatives had to make a considerable effort by collecting a 1 million euro bail.

As reported by "Mundo Deportivo", the money was provided by a Brazilian newspaper.

According to the media, in exchange for this gesture, D. Alves will extensively talk about his colorful career in the press.

It is worth noting that the player accused of sexual assault immediately threw a lavish party upon his release from prison.
