Neymar da Silva Santos said in a statement on behalf of his family that they financially supported Alves during his trial, but that they won’t do it again now that the former player was found guilty of raping a woman in a Barcelona nightclub in 2022. 


“For us, for my family, this matter is over. Full stop,” Neymar da Silva Santos said. Alves, 40, was sentenced to four years, six months in prison. He is being held at a jail outside Barcelona. Neymar’s father didn’t specify how much they gave Alves but added it’s a “different situation” now because the three-judge panel at the Barcelona Provincial Court ruled against Alves.
