A Spanish court has ruled that ex-Barcelona and Brazil footballer Dani Alves can be conditionally released from jail after serving about a quarter of his sentence for rape.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Alves, who was sentenced to four and a half years in prison last month, will be released on a \u20ac1m (\u00a3853,000) bail.<\/p>\n

He had been held in pre-trial detention since January 2023.<\/p>\n

The 40-year-old was found guilty of raping a woman in a Barcelona nightclub in December 2022.<\/p>\n

The victim\u2019s lawyer called the decision \u201ca scandal\u201d.<\/p>\n

The conditions for his release include turning over both his Brazilian and Spanish passports so he cannot leave Spain.<\/p>\n

He must also appear before the court on a weekly basis.<\/p>\n

The court additionally imposed a restraining order, preventing him from approaching the victim.<\/p>\n

The ruling came a day after Alves\u2019 lawyer requested his release on the grounds that he had already served a quarter of his sentence in pre-trial detention following his arrest.<\/p>\n

The decision, which was not unanimous due to a dissenting vote from one of the judges, can still be appealed.<\/p>\n

The victim\u2019s lawyer, Ester Garcia, said: \u201cTo me, it\u2019s a scandal that they let a person who they know can get a million euros in no time walk free.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ms Garcia told RAC1 radio she was \u201coutraged and dissatisfied\u201d with the ruling, adding it was \u201ca justice (system) for the rich\u201d and that she would lodge an appeal.<\/p>\n

Lawyers for Alves have not yet commented.<\/p>\n
