• Sports From 'surprised' in the bathroom to consensual relationships: the three changes of version of Alves in his statement

While the victim's statement before the Investigating Court 15 of Barcelona was "forceful" and "persistent", that of Daniel Alves was plagued with contradictions.

Up to three times he changed his version and went from explaining that he did not know the woman who accuses him of rape in a bathroom in the VIP area of ​​a nightclub in Barcelona to that the relations were consented, but that he had not said anything before. to protect her.

For this reason,

Alves has decided to ask the court to testify again and tell a single version

.

His intention is to qualify what he said in his first court appearance and tell his version, which is totally exculpatory, since he considers that he never committed a crime.

In addition, it is possible that the Brazilian will change his lawyer shortly since several important law firms in Barcelona have taken an interest in his situation.

The player's entourage has explained that Alves is unhappy with the advice received so far since he appeared on an Antena 3 program a few days ago in which he assured that he did not know the victim and that he only ran into her in the bathroom of the Sutton nightclub without any contact.

This version was totally questioned by the images from the local security cameras at dawn on December 30.

In them you can see the player harassing the victim, who in court declared that he grabbed her from behind her while they were dancing and said things in her ear that he did not understand since they were in Portuguese.

«

From behind he took my hand and put it on her penis and I removed it.

He did it twice, the second time with great force and I withdrew it again.

She was disgusting me », explained the victim before the Mossos d'Esquadra.

In addition, the woman explained that she also saw "how I touched my friends" and realized "how attached I was to them."

She told her then she took out a bottle of cava to invite them.

She also added that Alves "was insisting and it was very heavy" and told her "let's go, let's go", although she delayed him: "I was disgusting."

Shortly after he went to the bathroom door, from there he called her and she went since she didn't know it was a sink.

The victim indicated that he closed the door and that she told him that she wanted to leave, but he did not let her.

She then sat on the toilet and "pulled me hard, pulling me closer to him.

At all times I told him to stop and that he had to go ».

"

He just told me that I couldn't go and that I had to say that I was his whore

," the woman told the police and later in court, adding: "I insisted that he stop and that I had to go, but he pulled up my dress and made me sit on it.

It was then that, faced with the victim's resistance, Alves attacked her, grabbing her by the head and hair, throwing her to the ground and then hitting her hard.

"I resisted, but he was stronger than me," added the victim, who insisted that he forced her to give him fellatio, but she opposed it and for that reason "at that moment he began to slap me, he spent a while hitting me on the head." face".

«

I felt that he was suffocating me not because he was squeezing, but because of the anguish he was feeling

», explains the woman in the statement, who adds that it was then that he put her against the sink and raped her there.

The little less than 20 minutes that the two were in the bathroom are verified by the fact that it is the same time in which neither Alves nor the complainant appear on the security cameras in the VIP area.

At the moment,

his defense lawyers have started the procedures to request his release, even if it is with a high bail

, arguing that there is no risk of flight since he is domiciled in Barcelona.

It is expected that this week the lawyers will present an appeal before the court to get out of jail, although their resolution, if accepted, will not be immediate and the player could spend a few weeks in provisional prison.

Alves is still in the jail's admission module and for the moment he has a calm but dejected demeanor, according to prison sources.
