Former Barcelona and Brazil soccer star Dani Alves was acquitted by an appeals court in Spain, which overturned the four-and-a-half-year prison sentence he had received in February of last year due to an alleged sexual assault case at a Barcelona night club in December 2022.
The High Court of Justice in Catalonia allowed Alves, 41, an appeal after a panel of judges deemed the initial conviction contained an array of "inaccuracies."
