The footballer’s lawyer asked the judge for his release
The lawyer for the girl who accused Dani Alves of rape has demanded that the footballer remain in prison on Thursday from the judge investigating the case. The former Barca and Sevilla player was jailed on January 20 after appearing before the Mossos and before the investigating judge number 15 in Barcelona. Ten days after he was admitted to Brians 2, in Barcelona, his lawyer, Cristóbal Martell, filed a summary judgment with the judge asking for his release. Martell appealed the incarceration order.
The judge asked the parties for their opinion after the request of the footballer’s defense. First, the Public Prosecution Service, which opposed his release from prison, and on the last day of the term given by the magistrate, spoke to the victim’s lawyer, who also asked that the Brazilian footballer remain in prison while the case is being investigated. investigated. .
Now it’s the judge who has to make a decision: whether Alves remains in prison, is charged with rape, or orders detention with charges. His lawyer argued that the flight risk that the magistrate invoked to order his entry into prison no longer exists. According to the lawyer, the Brazilian has a house in the Catalan capital and would be willing to wear a telematics bracelet to be available during the investigation before the trial. The prosecution confirmed that “rational indications of crime remain and the risk of escape remains”. And he opposed the alternative measures proposed by the footballer’s defense.
Alves is accused of assaulting and raping a 23-year-old girl at Sutton nightclub in the Catalan capital. The events took place on December 30. First he said that he did not know the victim, then that he ran into her in the local toilets and finally that there were relations, but consensual. The victim, on the other hand, has stuck to the same version since the beginning of the case. He assured that he followed the footballer without knowing that they went to the bathroom. Once inside, he stated that he had beaten and raped her.
