Dani Alves to remain in custody, Neymar Sr. refuses to post bail

Dani Alves received a huge boost on Wednesday to his chances of getting a temporary release from custody. After his arrest in January 2023 on sexual assault accusations, he finally got bail.

The court had imposed a strict deadline of 2:30 pm local time for posting bail. However, Alves didn’t acquire the necessary funds, thereby delaying Alves’ release. It seemed like Neymar’s dad would chip in to get the ex-player out of jail quickly.

“I hope Daniel finds with his own family all the answers he is looking for. For us, for my family, the matter is over”, he wrote on .
