Ex-footballer Dani Alves and his lawyer, In�s Guardiola, as he leaves the Barcelona Court on March 28, 2024, in Barcelona, Catalonia (Spain). The footballer Dani Alves has appeared today before the Audiencia of Barcelona for the first of the weekly appearances that he will have to make while he remains in provisional freedom to certify that he has not absconded. Alves has arrived accompanied by his lawyer, for this procedure that he must do every Friday (this week a day earlier, because it is a holiday on Good Friday) while he remains at liberty until his conviction for sexual assault is final. The footballer was released from pre-trial detention on Monday after paying a bail of one million euros, and the court also set as a requirement to his freedom while awaiting final judgment and will appear every week in court to check that he has not left Spain.
