Dani Alves Rape Conviction Overturned on Appeal

Dani Alves was initially found guilty of raping a 23-year-old woman in a Barcelona nightclub in December 2022. The initial trial resulted in a sentence of four years and six months, and Alves had already spent over a year on remand before being released under legal supervision. However, on appeal, the court ruled that the conviction was unsafe due to various inconsistencies and contradictions in the evidence. As a result, Alves' appeal was successful, and the conviction was overturned.
