Dani Alves’ rape conviction overturned by Spanish court on appeal

A Spanish court has overturned Dani Alves’ conviction of rape on appeal.
The top court in Spain’s Catalonia region said they had found “inconsistencies and contradictions” in the original ruling.
Alves, the former Barcelona and Brazil star, was found guilty in February 2024 of raping a woman in a Barcelona nightclub in December 2022.
