The pastor who turned Dani Alves into a star preacher: whitewashing maneuver or genuine conversion?

Dani Alves, a former Brazilian footballer who was imprisoned for 14 months after being convicted of sexual assault, has recently shifted focus from his legal troubles to religious activities. After being released from prison, he began sharing his faith publicly, stating he wants to 'give testimony' and tell young people he is a Christian and a child of God. His involvement in church activities grew rapidly, leading him to speak at large gatherings, including a congregation of over 35,000 people at the Metropolitano stadium in Madrid and another event in Guatemala. The prosecution has appealed against his acquittal by the Supreme Court of Catalonia, which cleared him of charges, and awaits a decision from Spain’s Supreme Court.
