There are twenty-six hours of recordings, from different security cameras, that collect every detail about what happened on the night of December 30 at the Sutton nightclub in Barcelonawhere Dani Alves (allegedly) abused a young woman. Some key moments of the night have been leaked this Friday and the videos can already be seen on social networks.
It is a couple and in them you can see how Dani Alves dances and enjoys the night in the company of some friends and some girls who, later, join the VIP booth. The journalist Nacho Abad, however, has had access to some more images and this is how he has described them: “The girls start dancing, there are three of them. At a certain moment a waiter approaches them and invites them to the area where Dani is Alves. He talks to them, in a relaxed atmosphere and without violence,” he says. “I watch how he touches the girl’s ass. I tell you he touches her ass and her consent is in her head… If she doesn’t consent, my reaction would have been to push her away and say ‘don’t touch my ass’, and that’s me I don’t see him. He touches her ass and she grabs him by the waist. Voluntarily, she goes to the bathroom a few seconds later. Nobody knows what happened in there…”.

What the videos do also show is how they leave the bathroom after spending about fifteen minutes inside. “Alves comes out first, then one of the friends comes out and you can see how they shake hands (Alves and the alleged victim). They don’t speak and, at a certain moment, the girl goes outside with her friend. They start talking and leave he sees her crying. The security guards appear and, after a while, there are several people there,” says Abad.
