Dani Alves is told he would be ‘KILLED’ in Brazil as he is heckled and jeered after being spotted in Barcelona following court hearing as disgraced star appeals conviction for rape
Dani Alves was told on Thursday he would be ‘killed’ in Brazil by an angry heckler – after being released from prison after posting £850,000 bail.
The former Barcelona player was released from Brians 2 prison on Monday after spending 15 months behind bars awaiting trial for raping a woman in December 2022.
Alves, 40, was found guilty in February this year and sentenced to four and a half years in prison, but he has appealed the verdict.
He does this from his own home, after agreeing to a number of conditions from the court.
Angry members of the public vented Alves as he strolled through the streets of Barcelona after a court hearing on Thursday, as captured by Marca.

“In Brazil they would kill you quickly, don’t panic,” someone shouted Football Spain.
“Alves, you have a lot of money to rape, don’t you?” shouted another.
The former Brazilian defender has been provisionally released and will usually attend court hearings on Friday.
He is believed to have complied with other orders from the three judges who said he could leave prison despite his recent rape conviction by surrendering his Spanish and Brazilian passports.
Eager to make the most of his life outside the prison walls, he is said to have celebrated one of his first nights of freedom with a lavish party.
According to the Spanish TV program ‘This is Life’, the day after Alves was released, he received his family and friends at his house in Esplugues de Llobregat after they attended a dinner party in Barcelona without him in honor of patriarch Domingos Alves Da Silva .
After dinner, the party headed to Alves’ £4.5 million villa, where the festivities would continue until five in the morning.
Alves was told last Wednesday he could leave prison after winning his bid to appeal his prison sentence from the comfort of his own home rather than a cell.
The 40-year-old was released on bail after paying £850,000 bail and surrendering his passport.

But because he failed to pay the bail, he remained behind bars all weekend.
Alves’ lawyer Ines Guardiola has said the Brazilian has two bank accounts in Spain, one with no balance and the other with €51,000 (£44,000), with a court attachment of €50,000 (£43,000).
Guardiola claimed last year that her client is ‘devastated’ and has a ‘negative bank balance of £17,000’, despite once reportedly having a fortune of £47million.
Sport reported that Alves’ accounts in Brazil have also been blocked due to issues with his ex-wife Dinorah Santana.
However, Alves is expected to receive €9.2 million (£7.9 million) after his tax lawyer Fernando Mota won four cases against Spanish tax authorities.

During the hearing to set Alves’ bail, it was noted that the 40-year-old would receive “a large sum of money” back from the treasury, but he has not yet received the money.
Brazil teammate Neymar’s father was expected to help Alves pay the money to secure his freedom, but he issued a statement denying he would hand over any money after coming under political pressure in his home country to stand.
