Hundreds protest against a Spanish court's decision to overturn former Brazil international footballer Dani Alves' rape conviction. Alves was sentenced to four-and-a-half years in jail in February last year for raping a young woman in the VIP bathroom of a Barcelona nightclub on December 31, 2022. The Barcelona-based appeals court said its four judges had "unanimously" accepted the player's appeal and "annulled" his conviction as there was "insufficient evidence" to prove he was guilty.
