Neymar’s family paid €150k to Dani Alves victim of nightclub rape
The family of Brazil international footballer Neymar paid €150,000 (£128,500) in damages to the victim of Dani Alves, according to reports.
Alves was found guilty of raping a woman in the bathroom of a Barcelona nightclub and sentenced to jail for four-and-a-half years on Thursday.
The €150k payment was made before the verdict and would have been handed to the victim regardless of the outcome of the trial.
Reports in Spain say that the court took the €150k into account when deciding on the length of Alves’ prison term.
