Next month, Dani Alves will be tried for the alleged crime of sexual abuse of a 23-year-old girl at the Sutton nightclub in the Catalan city on December 30, 2022. At last month’s public hearing, the court confirmed the resolution that The instructor dictated at the end of the investigation and decreed the opening of the trial of the world and Olympic champion soccer player with Brazil for February 5, 6 and 7, 2024.

The Prosecutor’s Office and the private prosecution will ask for eight years in prison for the former full-back, while his defense will argue that the relationships were consensual and will ask for acquittal. Alves has been in provisional prison since January 20 in the Brians 2 prison in Barcelona. Since then, his defense has requested on several occasions that he be released, something that the Barcelona Court rejected.

On the last occasion that the Court ruled on the measure, last June, the judges concluded that none of the maneuvers that the former Barcelona player and Lionel Messi’s teammate had promoted served to free him. In fact, according to the report that kept him in prison, the evidence collected by the Catalan police, especially the fingerprints found in the bathroom of the VIP area of ​​the nightclub, confirmed the victim’s story.

For this reason, the alleged victim requested compensation of 150,000 euros for the “physical and psychological” consequences that the alleged rape in the bowling alley would have left and requests a twelve-year prison sentence for the Brazilian.

In the midst of this scenario, Dani Alves’ defense had an unexpected turn, with a direct influence on Neymar, who will provide financial and legal help to his friend. As reported by the Brazilian media UOL, Ney transferred him 150,000 euros that would have been used to pay the Spanish courts the fine called “mitigating compensation for the damage caused” that could provide him with substantial help to seek to reduce the sentence if he were found guilty.

In addition, the former defender made the decision to remove his ex-wife, Dinorah Santana, from the management of his assets and appointed Gustavo Xisto, one of the oldest lawyers for Neymar’s father’s companies, as his representative. Being imprisoned, Alves cannot manage his money from prison.

Dani Alves, 40, was a player for Seville and Barcelona in Spain, Paris Saint Germain in France, Juventus in Italy and San Pablo in Brazil, among other teams. In his golden era in Barcelona he won six Spanish Leagues, three Champions Leagues, three Club World Cups and three European Super Cups, in addition to being U-20 world champion, senior, Olympic, American and Confederations Cup champions with Brazil. In addition to sharing a dressing room in the Brazil national team, he was a teammate of Neymar in Barça and PSG.
