The images recorded by the security cameras of the Sutton nightclub in Barcelona would have revealed that, even before going to the bathroom with Daniel Alves, the 23-year-old girl, who accuses the player of sexual abuse, had already been harassed by the athlete and would try to get rid of him. The information is from the Spanish newspaper ‘ara’who claimed to have had access to monitoring videos of the plant.

understand the case

Daniel Alves was arrested on 20 January. He was arrested while testifying in the case of sexual assault against a woman in the early hours of December 30th. The Public Prosecutor’s Office requested the preventive detention of the 40-year-old athlete, without the right to bail, and the holder of the Investigative Court 15 of Barcelona accepted the request, ordering the detention. Pumas, from Mexico, terminated the player’s contract on the same day, citing “just cause”.

The accusation refers to an episode that allegedly took place at the Sutton nightclub in Barcelona, ​​​​Spain. The athlete, who defended the Brazilian team at the World Cup in Qatar, allegedly blocked, attacked and raped the informant in a bathroom in the VIP area of ​​the disco. The complainant sought out her friends and security guards at the club following the incident. The collected material found traces of semen, both inside and on the informant’s dress.

The nightclub’s security team called the Catalan police (Mossos d’Esquadra), who took a statement from the victim. A camera worn on a police officer’s uniform accidentally recorded the first version of the victim’s case, confirming what was claimed in the official statement. The woman also underwent a medical examination in the hospital. Daniel Alves left the scene before police arrived.

According to the Spanish press, the contradiction in the right-back’s testimony was decisive for the country’s public prosecutor to ask for his arrest and for the judge to accept. In early January, the player gave an interview to the “Y Ahora Sonsoles” program on Antena 3, in which he confirmed that he was in the same nightclub as the woman accusing him, but denied having touched the complainant without her consent and said that neither of them knew her.

The defense speaks of an “erotic game” between the Brazilian and the alleged victim

Daniel Alves’ defense cites a possible “erotic game” between the player and the alleged victim on the night of the episode in the appeal to ask for his provisional release, presented to the Spanish justice system on May 16th.

On appeal, the defense, led by lawyer Cristóbal Martell, argues that the prosecution’s report has “inconsistencies and inconsistencies”. It is claimed that Daniel Alves and the alleged victim, while they were in the VIP area of ​​the disco, found themselves in a “different reality” from the fear scenario described by the prosecution to the Justice. Based on the audiovisual material collected, the Brazilian lawyers state that it is possible to see “clearly two adults developing an erotic game, simulating a previous coitus”.

“The complainant obviously observes sexualized conduct, typical of a phase of sexual courtship. At one point we see the young woman giving her back to the athlete, writhing and rubbing her buttocks in movements in the defendant’s pelvic area in the rhythm of the music”, said the defense of Daniel Alves in the appeal presented to the Justice.

Daniel Alves has admitted that there was sexual intercourse with the young woman who accuses him of rape, but again claims that the act was consensual. The Brazilian also reiterates that he has changed the version of what happened several times to hide the infidelity of his wife, the model and entrepreneur Joana Sanz, from whom he is about to divorce. Inconsistent testimony to justice was cited as one of the reasons for preemptive arrest of the player.

The defense also argues that the risk of the Brazilian fleeing Spain in the event of his provisional release is “non-existent and unthinkable”. The resource mentions that Daniel Alves has a life plan in Barcelona and that he has always wanted his children to carry out their university studies in the European country. Dinorah Santana, Daniel Alves’ agent and mother of the athlete’s children, recently moved to Spain with the children.
