Only 15 minutes has lasted the appearance of Dani Alves this Wednesday in the Court of Instruction number 15 of Barcelona. When the judge has communicated the indictment carasked him if he wanted me to read it to him and he replied that he already knew the content.
“I do not agree with the account of the facts. It does not conform to the reality of what happened”, is the only thing that the Brazilian has contributed, thus refusing to appeal the decision of the judge in the case, which has prosecuted him for a crime of sexual assault with carnal access a young woman at the Sutton nightclub in Barcelona on December 30. In addition, she has imposed a bail of 150,000 euros.
According to his lawyer, Christopher Martell, his intention is to “expedite” the procedure so that the trial can be held as soon as possible. Now, the processing will continue in the Court of Barcelona and everything indicates that in September the request for imprisonment from the Prosecutor’s Office will be known, which could range from 6 to 10 years, as well as the trial date that would be this coming winter.
The former FC Barcelona player, who has arrived at the Courts in a police van and accompanied by a large security delegation, has been in pretrial detention since January 20 and is not expected to leave Brians 2 before the trial. It should be remembered that his defense has requested his release on several occasions, something that both the instructor and the Barcelona Court have dismissed.
