Alves could have been sentenced to 12 years in prison, but…   

Dani Alves' punishment could have been more severe. It turned out that Neymar's family helped him a lot. Dani was sentenced to 4.5 years in prison on charges of rape. However, the prosecutor's office demanded 9 years for him, and the private prosecution demanded 12 years. The punishment was replaced by 150,000 euros, and Neymar's family paid the victim as moral compensation. This amount served as "damage mitigation". In this way, Neymar's family also gave Dani a lawyer. A true friend will not leave you in trouble!
