Dani Alves will spend the weekend in prison after failing to come up with the €1 million ($1.08m) bail payment required for his conditional release as he awaits the result of an appeal to his rape conviction, court sources confirmed to EFE.
The former Brazil footballer was granted bail from his 4½ year sentence on Wednesday but failed to come up with the money for a third successive day on Friday.
EFE added that Alves’ legal team had asked for a one hour extension to the deadline of 2pm local time but were still unable to deliver the funds. The payment cannot be made on Saturday or Sunday.
