Former Barça player Dani Alves appears on Monday before the Court of Instruction 15 of Barcelona at his own request. The magistrate agreed after the lawyer of the Brazilian, Cristóbal Martell, requested a new statement to expose his version of what happened in the early hours of December 31 at the Sutton nightclub in Barcelona.

Alves goes to court to insist on his version that the relations with the complainant were consensual as it shows that she voluntarily entered the bathroom in which the events occurred. He will also argue that the atmosphere between the player, his companion, the victim and his two friends was relaxed before and after the alleged aggression.
