After serving time in prison, Dani Alves has been found not guilty of rape.
Life moves on like nothing happened—especially for the woman who destroyed his life. She walks free.
Dani lost everything—absolutely everything, including his family. As a man, the game was rigged against him from the start.
Daniel "Dani" Alves da Silva is a Brazilian former professional footballer who played as a right-back. Widely regarded as one of the best full-backs of all time, he is also one of the most decorated players with 43 trophies.
Once worth $60 million, his empire collapsed after being accused of rape in a Barcelona nightclub bathroom. At 39, Dani spent 14 months in Brians 2 prison.
Sponsors like Puma cut ties, costing him millions. Lawsuits piled up, including a $2.2 million claim from Pumas UNAM. His marriage to Joana Sanz also crumbled, ending in a 2024 divorce filing.

Convicted in February 2024 under Spain’s strict consent laws—based largely on the accuser’s testimony—he was sentenced to 4.5 years in prison and ordered to pay €150,000 in damages (covered in part by allies, including Neymar’s family). Despite proclaiming his innocence, Alves appealed.
On March 28, 2025, Catalonia’s High Court unanimously acquitted him, citing “flaws and inaccuracies” in the evidence, inconsistencies in the woman’s story, and a lack of corroborating proof. He walked free after 839 days behind bars.
"The Club Universidad Nacional, A.C., announces that on September 1, 2025, it received notification of the arbitration award issued by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) in the contractual dispute between the club and the player Daniel Alves Da Silva," Pumas said in a news release.
Meanwhile, the accuser remains anonymous—and uncharged for an unproven claim.
