Deaths have occurred in the same prison, for example, John McAfee, who founded an information security company, died there in 2021. According to McAfee, the prison was like a “five-star hotel” compared to prisons in the United States.
In addition to McAfee’s death, an inmate has been stabbed to death in Brians 2 prison. The prisoner was convicted of forcing minors into sex work, and he was stabbed 29 times in the neck, chest and stomach area. In April 2020, a 27-year-old prisoner attacked other prisoners and prison staff.

The prosecutors demanded a nine-year prison sentence for Alves. In Spain, a similar act can result in up to 12 years in prison.
In addition to the four and a half year prison sentence, the Barcelona court sentenced Alves to pay 150,000 euros in compensation to the victim. The events take place in 2022 and took place on the night of the 30th and 31st in the toilet of the Sutton nightclub.
According to the verdict, Alves threw the victim to the ground and raped her.
During the interrogations, Alves admitted that he had sex with the victim, but changed his story several times. He is a former star player of FC Barcelona and the Brazilian national football team.
