defense of Daniel Alves had requested the release of the player due to family ties and the life project he has in Barcelona, an appeal that the Court of Barcelona has not accepted. Therefore, the Brazilian will remain in provisional prison since the provincial court considers that the “flight risk remains”.
In addition, the hearing indicates that there is no precautionary measure that “neutralize with sufficient guarantees” his escape from Spain. This decision is a new setback after being accused of sexually assaulting a 23-year-old girl in a Barcelona nightclub. On the television show ‘En boca de todos’, the journalist Nacho Abad commented on the footballer’s reaction after the denial of parole.
Dani Alves insists and reiterates his innocence, assuring that the differences between their testimonies, which marked differences in the version of events, sought to save their marriage.
“Only two people know what happened and especially what didn’t happen. I’m telling the truth. I think everyone understands that I was trying to save my marriage and that’s why I said what I said in the first place. That was the only reason and I have nothing to hide. There is talk of infinite versions and I have only testified twice before the judge”, exposed the Cuatro program.
“I have been in prison since January 20 and I have not yet been tried. It will prove that I am not guilty and it was a consensual relationship. It would never cross my mind to impose the sexual act on anyone as has been written.” The Brazilian player underlines his collaboration with the Police. “I went to the police of my own free will from Mexico and I gave up going to Brazil, country that had not collaborated with Spain in my delivery. I did it to defend myself and prove my innocence.”
