One of the richest footballers in the world, Neymar, decided to help his compatriot Dani Alves.
The latter player was accused of sexual assault.
According to various portals, Neymar covered a large portion of his former teammate's legal expenses, provided money for bail, and hired a highly experienced lawyer.
After the trial, it became clear that the efforts of the "Al-Hilal" representative were in vain - instead of the requested 9-year sentence (the victim's side requested 12 years of imprisonment), only 4.5 years of imprisonment were imposed.
However, even such a lenient sentence did not satisfy D. Alves - an appeal will be filed.
