A special role in football, a curious partner and what he asked for his cell: this is Dani Alves’ life in prison
The Brazilian soccer player is about to complete a month inside the Brians 2 prison in Barcelona after his alleged sexual assault on a woman in a nightclub
As he told in dialogue with The Ana Rosa Programthe days of Alves They have not been easy for his psyche but little by little he has gotten used to confinement. After a few days of anguish, he has begun to socialize with his colleagues: “Help where you can. Buy people things to eat and all that stuff. Help and invite. He tries to go unnoticed and is very affable with people. It’s not about a star. There are officials who dance the water for him and there are others who are happy to have him there.
It should be remembered that from abroad these prisoners can even charge a certain amount of money on a card that they can spend in internal stores in exchange for food.

“Narrative distortion”: the keys to the defense of Dani Alves to achieve freedom from prison for the case of sexual assault
The Brazilian’s lawyer, Cristóbal Martell, raises several situations against the investigation
“He does not talk too muchbut what he says is that he has not abused anyone, nor hit anyone. And that, if the girl hadn’t wanted to, he wouldn’t have wanted to do it. That he did not force anyone, “revealed the prisoner who also gave an account of what is going through the footballer’s head:”He believes that he will continue inside. Now when the girl has said that she doesn’t want money or anything either, well that affects her. But he thinks she shouldn’t be in there and she doesn’t feel good in there.
It should be remembered that the complainant waived the possibility of receiving financial compensation if the crime of sexual assault is finally proven. In addition, his statements have always been firm with his first version, unlike that of the Brazilian who changed four times and only on the last one did he admit that there had been sexual relations with the complainant, although for him they were consented. In turn, Alves assured his wife that he does not remember anything that happened that night.
Meanwhile, the defense of the former Pumas de México player (club that terminated his contract after his arrest) He tries to get him home release or on bail with an electronic anklet. The decision of the Justice was to be known this Thursday, but it was finally postponed for a week. The prosecution, for its part, insists that there is a risk of flight and that is why the athlete must remain locked up while the case progresses.
The case of another footballer accused of sexual assault that was key to keeping Dani Alves in prison
The 39-year-old Brazilian is still detained in Barcelona awaiting the resolution of justice
The 39-year-old Brazilian is accused of raping the 23-year-old girl in the bathroom of the Sutton nightclub on December 30, 2022 and if the Justice proves it, he will face the law popularly known as only yes is yes which entered into force on October 7 of last year. It indicates that “in cases of sexual assault, whether vaginal, anal, or oral, or the introduction of bodily members or objects by one of the first two routes, the person responsible will be punished as a prisoner of rape with a sentence of 4 to 12 years”.
According to the testimony of the complainant and the statement of her lawyer in the media, the soccer player forced the woman to enter the bathroom of the place, where attacked her with a blow and forced her to have sex. In addition, the lawyer indicated that the former Barcelona winger did not use a condom.
The DNA tests analyzed in the young woman’s dress and in the bathroom of the place have put Alves on the ropes, whose defense maintains that the sexual relationship has been consensual and whose main pillar of this version is that in the security cameras supposedly the player is observed entering the bathroom seconds before the young woman did. According to Alves’ lawyers, this proves that she was not forced to enter there.
