The evidence confirms the rape charge against the footballer, who has been imprisoned since January 20
The remains of semen found in the victim’s intravaginal samples and her clothing belong to Dani Alves, according to results from the National Institute of Toxicology, which El Periódico filed. The footballer, who has been imprisoned since January 20, testified the same day before the Mossos and before the investigating judge. During his trial in court, he voluntarily provided a sample of his DNA, saliva. The genetic profile, according to the tests carried out, in the sample he provided matches the remains of semen found in the victim’s vagina and on her clothing.
These tests destroy the third version that the footballer gives in his statement. 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 she said that she did not know the victim, then that she ran into her in the local toilets, and finally that there were relations, but consensual and that she was the one who performed fellatio on him. The DNA testing dismantles this third version as it confirms that there was penetration, as the victim claims.
The girl has always maintained 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. Days ago, the program Ahora Sonsoles, from Antena 3, reported that Alves would have changed his version again, after knowing the evidence against him. There was penetrative intercourse, I would admit, but consensual. The young woman claims he raped her.
News has surfaced in the case where the examining magistrate of court number 15 in Barcelona decides whether or not the footballer should be detained in prison. His lawyer, Cristóbal Martell, asked the magistrate for the release of the former Barça and Sevilla player. He argued that he is domiciled in the Catalan capital and that the risk of flight has disappeared. On the other hand, the Public Prosecution Service and the lawyer of the girl who charged him have opposed his departure, believing that there is still a risk of flight. And that if the footballer flees Spain, he avoids a trial.
