BRAZILIAN footballer Dani Alves is set to be conditionally released from jail pending an appeal against his rape conviction.
He will be released after posting bail of one million euros (£850,000), after serving a quarter of his four and a half-year sentence for rape, a Barcelona court ruled on Wednesday.

The conditions for Alves’ release include relinquishing both his Brazilian and Spanish passports so he cannot leave Spain as well as an obligation to appear before the court on a weekly basis.
The court also imposed a restraining order, barring Alves from approaching the victim.
The decision, which was not unanimous due to a dissenting vote from one of the judges, can still be appealed.
