Despite facing a four-and-a-half-year prison sentence for the alleged rape of a woman in December 2022, Alves remains resolute in his appeal against the verdict.

"At night they came to this house when there were almost no journalists left and they also celebrated it with Daniel Alves," said a journalist in 'Así es la vida'. 

While adhering to court-imposed conditions such as surrendering his passports and undergoing weekly visits to the court, Alves wasted no time in embracing the freedom afforded by his release on bail.

A report from the Spanish outlet Sport shed light on Alves' extravagant celebration, which centered around honoring his father's birthday with a gathering of loved ones.

The family celebrated it in a restaurant in Barcelona, but then, together with some relatives, they followed the party at the former soccer player's house.

As the legal battle looms large, Alves' decision to revel in festivities just days after his release has sparked debate and raised eyebrows.

Meanwhile, AS Tikitakas reports that Dani Alves must appear in court every week while on probation as part of the measures imposed.

The former Pumas and Juventus defender is also expected to call time on his football career by the end of the sexual assault scandal.
