Brazilian footballer Dani Alves (40) was sentenced to four and a half years in prison for raping a woman in the bathroom of a nightclub in Barcelona.
The decision was made on Thursday by a Catalan court, although we will have to wait for the appeals to find out if the sentence will be final; If that happens, Dani Alves could start being released from prison in July next year. At that point he would have served a third of his sentence.
With a final sentence and good behavior, he will only be able to spend weekends at home in April 2025.
It’s what Alves wants most right now. Joana, his wife, made this known in a letter that he sent her and which she, by mistake, made public for a few minutes on his Instagram account.
“In my imperfection, I learned that I cannot devote my time to what was, but rather transform my energy into what is. And the fact is, you are what I dreamed of,” Alves wrote.
“What I dreamed of and continue to dream of. I want to walk all the roads with you. I didn’t have the wrong woman, yes, it was you. There is not a single day, not a single moment, not a single plan in which you are not there,” she added.
“I pray every day for the day to come when I can see you wake up. Nostalgia is not not being able to do it now,” the letter to Joana says.
And so it ends: “Anywhere, anything, anything, but with you always by my side. I experience strange sensations. “I love you.”
