BARCELONA. — Brazilian soccer player Dani Alves was released from a Barcelona jail yesterday, according to a Reuters witness, after posting a 1 million euro ($1.09 million) bail.
Last Wednesday, a local court ruled that Alves could be conditionally freed on bail while he appeals his rape conviction.
He has served about a quarter of his four-and-a-half-year prison sentence.
Alves must also relinquish both his Brazilian and Spanish passports so he cannot leave Spain, and appear before the court on a weekly basis or whenever summoned.
The court imposed a re-straining order barring him from coming within 1,000 metres (3,300 feet) of the victim. — Reuters.
