Dani Alves’ Wife Reacts to his bail decision
After being sentenced to four years in prison for raping a defenseless woman on New Year’s Eve in 2022, Dani Alves was granted bail in the amount of one million euros pending the final sentence to the Brazilian following the appeals that were filed.
His wife’s response, which was to shut down her social media accounts, is hardly surprising.

Alves‘ victim’s lawyer has already confirmed that they will appeal this decision to let the ex-soccer player walk free, to some extent.
However, Neymar’s father, who was trying to raise the bail money, was unable to come up with the €1 million, therefore Alves is still detained.
He is required by part of his bail terms to surrender his two passports—Spanish and Brazilian—in order to keep him from leaving the nation, mainly because extradition of Brazilian nationals is prohibited by Brazilian law. Should he succeed in going back to his birthplace, he would be permanently exempt from Spanish jurisdiction.
In addition, he is required to make weekly court appearances and is prohibited from contacting or approaching the attack victim in an evening club.
The news has not taken long to invoke all kinds of reactions, both in television programs and among several well-known personalities, such as the soccer player’s mother, who celebrated the decision.
Although one of the most unexpected reactions was that of his partner, the model Joana Sanz, who in recent months has shown her commitment to Alves. However, upon hearing the news, Joana Sanz decided to take a drastic measure as she deactivated her Instagram profile.
It is not the first time she deactivates her Instagram profile, as she had done it on other occasions and the real reason behind this decision is unknown, although it is understood that Sanz prefers to have a lower profile now that the case is back in the news in order to go more unnoticed.
It could be so she doesn’t become a medium for those angry at Alves and the court’s decision to vent that frustration at her. She could be pre-emptively getting ahead of any abuse coming her way for her loyalty to the sex offender.
Presumably, the model, who has always been very active on Instagram and uses this platform as part of her work, will reactivate the account later on but we have no idea when.
The victim’s lawyers launch a counter-appeal
Alves‘s news has shocked the world as nobody expected a rapist to be free to walk the streets of Spain again before the trial and sentencing was either definitively concluded as not guilty, guilty, or innocent.
But that is what had happened so Ester Garcia has already made her intention known to appeal the decision to ensure that he stays behind bars. She also feels that if he didn’t have a deep pocket of cash from his time as a soccer player, he wouldn’t get such a favorable decision.
“It is a scandal that they let him go free,” Garcia told El Mon a RAC1 podcast. “It seems that justice is being done for the rich.
“They said that he has a small financial capacity right now, but I have no doubt that he will get the million from wherever he is.”
