Former Barcelona player, Dani Alves was recently granted bail after being found guilty of rape. Having been arrested in January 2023, Alves was released after the bail amount of over $1 million was paid on his behalf. Contrary to earlier rumors, Neymar Jr’s father denied paying this bail amount. Rather, it was reportedly Memphis Depay, with whom Alves shared the locker room in FC Barcelona in the 2021/22 season, who paid the lump sum. Per the latest reports, the fullback seems to be in the news again for throwing a party after being released.
TyC Sports reported that following dinner at a restaurant, there was a party at Dani Alves’s house in Spain. The celebrations lasted until 5 am and there were even guests in hoodies. The occasion was the birthday celebration of the soccer star’s father, Domingos Alves Da Silva. The event was actually predicted in the ‘El Gordo y la Flaca’ show. Notably, Dani Alves’ brother Ney was absent as he was on a trip to Barcelona.
