Recently sentenced to four and a half years in prison for rape, Dani Alves was the subject of a disastrous rumor on Saturday evening.
The Web was ignited by a terrible rumor on Saturday evening: the suicide of Dani Alves. Sentenced last month to four and a half years in prison in the case of rape committed in December 2022 in a Barcelona night establishment, the Brazilian defender is said to have ended his life in his Spanish prison cell… A “information » very quickly denied.
The brother of the former footballer, Ney Alves, took it upon himself to denounce fake news, like the penitentiary establishment in which the Auriverde is imprisoned. “ The madness is that you want him dead. You want to see my brother dead. What cruelty! My father is over 70 years old. My mother is over 60 years old. You don’t have any family, do you? »
An anti-suicide protocol put in place
Indignant, Ney Alves continues: “ These pages keep spreading these things. May God have mercy on you. You’ve already condemned him for the words of a woman who walked into the men’s room to do what only she knows. He has already been convicted. Isn’t that enough? » A bias which obviously only concerns the family of Dani Alves…
As despicable as it is, this rumor does not come out of nowhere. The Spanish administration has indicated that an anti-suicide protocol had been in place for several weeks already for a former football star whose mental health is considered fragile. The prosecution, which had requested nine years in prison against Dani Alves, planned to appeal the initial sentence of four and a half years in detention.
