“The judge investigating the ‘Dani Alves case’ has decided to prosecute the player for alleged sexual assault on a young woman in the early hours of December 31, 2022 at the Sutton nightclub.
The magistrate has set for this Thursday, August 3, the statement of the 40-year-old footballer, which is the previous step after the prosecution. The 15th Court of Instruction of Barcelona has closed the investigation against Alves and concludes that there are indications that he sexually assaulted a 23-year-old woman.
The Barcelona Court has concluded the investigation after carrying out the last missing test: a psychological examination of the victim at the Psychology Unit of the Institute of Legal Medicine and Forensic Sciences of Catalonia (IMELEC) by experts appointed to determine whether she suffered any damage or sequelae after the alleged sexual assault.
The next step will be for the accusations to specify the penalty requests, which can be around ten years in prison.
The court ratifies the provisional imprisonment of the defendant and sets at 150,000 euros the civil liability that he should pay to the victim, if convicted, for the moral and psychological damages caused. Alves’ defense will not appeal this decision and on August 3 he will have to appear before the judge to inform her that he will be tried.
Dani Alves has been in prison since January 20 when he was accused of alleged sexual assault in the aforementioned nightclub in Barcelona at the end of the year and is not expected to be released before the trial, since the Barcelona Court of Appeals rejected his request for provisional release on two occasions.”
