The most titled footballer in history was sentenced to 4.5 years in prison: all the details

The legendary Brazilian defender Dani Alves, who along with Lionel Messi is the most decorated footballer in history, has been found guilty in a rape case. A Barcelona court sentenced the former Barcelona player to 4.5 years in prison.

This was reported by the AS edition from the scene. Alves committed an act of violence against a girl in the Sutton nightclub in the capital of Catalonia on the night of December 30, 2022. The judges concluded that the Brazilian footballer acted deliberately and forced the victim to have sex.

Alves was sentenced to nine years in prison, but half of the sentence was commuted to probation. He will also be forced to pay 150 thousand euros to the victim, with whom he is banned from communicating for 9.5 years, and reimburse court costs. It should be noted that after the trial began, the footballer's wife, Joana Sanz, filed for divorce. And the athlete's first wife, Dinora Santana, came to his defense.

The 40-year-old Brazilian right-back, who played for Mexican side Pumas until his arrest in January 2023, won 44 trophies in his career. He was a champion of Spain, Italy and France, won the Champions League and UEFA Super Cup three times, and won the UEFA Cup twice.

In 2021, he became an Olympic champion with the Brazilian national team. Interestingly, Alves failed to win a medal at the world championships as a member of the Seleção, reaching the semifinals of the tournament only once (2014).
