According to media reports, Dani Alves was saved from such a long term behind bars by Neymar's family, who gave the ex-Barcelona player a tidy sum of money. For the 40-year-old offender was contributed 150 thousand euros, which served as a mitigating factor for compensation.
Interestingly, such help was not to everyone's liking. For example, the president of the ruling Workers' Party in Brazil Gleisi Hoffmann criticised Neymar for such an act.
Recall, Neymar and Daniel Alves many years side by side conquered football tournaments. Players played in the Barcelona, PSG and the Brazilian national team.
