On the first day of the verdict, Alves ushered in good news! He will receive a refund of 9.2 million yuan and be released on bail with money

This Thursday, the Barcelona court announced the results of the trial in the "Alves case", and the former Barcelona superstar was sentenced to four and a half years in prison. On February 25, the newspaper "As" revealed that in another case, Alves ushered in good news - the Spanish tax department needs to refund 9.2 million euros to Alves.

On December 30, 2022, Alves made a big mistake in a nightclub in Barcelona, and on January 20 of the following year, the former Barcelona flying wing was arrested and imprisoned, officially starting his prison life. On February 22 of this year, the Barcelona court announced that Alves has been in prison for four and a half years and will be released in June 2027 (having already served one year in prison).

Originally, Alves could have been sentenced to nine years, but before the trial, Alves paid 150,000 euros in "bail" to the victim woman, which was an act of actively seeking forgiveness, so the sentence was reduced: nine years to four and a half years. Alves's 150,000 euros were borrowed from Neymar - Alves, who is serving a prison sentence, has assets controlled by his ex-wife, his bank account is frozen, and he can't use his assets.

Alves, however, will soon be out of financial predicament.

According to the newspaper As, in another case concerning Alves, the Spanish National Court handed down its verdict. This is an old case 10 years ago, in 2013 and 2014, Alves was suspected of tax evasion, and in 2022, the Spanish tax authorities reviewed and punished Alves, seizing 2.1 million assets of the former Barcelona superstar. In November 2023, Alves in prison successfully appealed. It is worth mentioning that the lawyer who helped Alves in the financial lawsuit was also hired by Neymar.

In this financial case, Alves is the winner - the Spanish Ministry of Finance, which needs to refund Alves 9.2 million euros. Of this amount, €1.2 million was paid immediately. The 1.2 million euros are very important for Alves, who finally has money when his bank account is frozen and his ex-wife Dilano controls the property.

According to the newspaper As, the 1.2 million euros Alves received could be used to apply for bail. Alves was sentenced to four and a half years in prison and has already served more than one year in prison, according to the regulations, after Alves completes one-third of his sentence, he can apply to "be released from prison during the day and go back to prison to sleep at night". What's more, Alves can pay bail and use it to apply for bail.
