Dani Alves has been jailed for four and a half years after being convicted of raping a woman at a Spanish nightclub.
The disgraced former Barcelona star was told he had been found guilty this morning at the Barcelona court where he was tried earlier this month after being driven to court in a police van.
The 40-year-old father-of-two is now facing his first night behind bars as a convicted sex offender.
He had been held on remand at Brians 2 Prison near the Catalan capital since his arrest in January last year.
Alves protested his innocence on February 7 after taking the stand on the last day of his three-day trial at Barcelona’s Audiencia Provincial court.
He admitted to having sex in a toilet at upmarket Barcelona nightclub Sutton December 30 2022 with his 23-year-old female accuser, but insisted it was consensual.
