Alves to appeal rape convinction
February 23 – Convicted sex offender Dani Alves is to appeal against his four-and-a-half sentence.
The Brazilian international, one of the most decorated footballers in history, was found guilty this week of sexually assaulting a woman in a Barcelona nightclub on New Years Eve in 2022.
The judgement followed a three-day trial in which Alves, who won 43 major trophies and played in three World Cups, denied any wrongdoing.
State prosecutors had sought a nine-year prison sentence while the lawyers representing his accuser wanted 12 years.
