According to the journalist Carlos Quílez in And now Sonsolesafter the hearing held this Thursday Section 3 of the Barcelona Court is expected to make public its decision on whether to remain in prison or be granted provisional release next Monday or Tuesday.
As we have already published, the Prosecutor’s Office and the private prosecution have asked to keep the footballer in prison for alleged sexual assault on a 23-year-old girl at the Sutton nightclub. They appeal to the risk of her escaping and to the evidence that the investigation has gathered against him. The investigation has verified that in the complainant’s vagina there were traces of DNA from Alves, which is contradictory to the latest version of what happened that he gave, and his defense has clung to the absence of vaginal lesions to maintain that it was not sexual assault but “consensual sex”.
They have relied on the security images of the nightclub that, according to him, contradict the complainant’s version, and he has assured that the girl knew that the room where the attack allegedly occurred was a bathroom, despite the fact that she has stated that He went in thinking it was a continuation of the booth where he was.
In addition, they argued, as they already did in their appeal, that the athlete has both family and business roots in Barcelona, and that he would be willing to abide by all the precautionary measures: wear a telematic bracelet, appear to sign in court, make the deposit of an economic amount, have a restraining order with the victim or hand over his two passports (he has dual nationality: Brazilian and Spanish).
