Courts Dani Alves hires the lawyer of Messi and the Pujol for his defense
In the more than 20 days that elapsed between the victim's complaint and the arrest, and subsequent imprisonment, of
Dani Alves
, the
Central Sexual Assault Unit
, a specific group within the Mossos d'Esquadra, carried out hard work collection of evidence and evidence that have ended up cornering the player.
Among them are the images from the security cameras of the VIP room of the
Sutton
nightclub , which show how Alves related to the victim and her friends, although he initially denied it in statements to Antena 3, as well as the statement of several witnesses, including local employees.

This was the night he took Dani Alves to jail
However, one of the clearest pieces of evidence available to the Mossos is the
remains of semen found in the sink where the sexual assault was allegedly committed
and which the patrol that went to the disco could collect shortly after the protocol against this type was activated. of sexual crimes.
The victim explained in her police statement that after allegedly raping her, she noticed that Alves relaxed when he ejaculated.
And I saw a stain on the ground.
I can't say 100% that it was semen, but I understood that yes, it was over
. "
The agents keep that genetic material that presumably belongs to the player and
the Investigating Court number 15 of Barcelona could order a check with
Alves' DNA to see if there is a match.
These are the remains that would prove that there was a sexual relationship between the two, since the victim's medical report provided to the case indicates that few biological traces were found in her after her examination, and they would not serve to compare.
Clothing
The police also analyze the clothes handed over by the woman, the one she was wearing the night she reported the attack, to see if there are any biological remains that are not hers.
All these indications supported the accusation against the defense
, who at first denied knowing the woman and later admitted that she had found her in the bathroom by surprise.
He changed his version and assured that the relationships were consented when the court presented this evidence to him.
He then stated that he had lied earlier to protect the victim.
These contradictions contrast with the numerous evidence that
Alves had sexual relations with the victim
in the disco's bathroom.
In addition, he was also harassing their friends before the alleged rape, as they declared before the Mossos.
Now the player will have to come up with a defense strategy again.
This new line would go through asking to testify again and give a definitive and totally exculpatory version of the events that occurred on the night of December 30 last at the Sutton nightclub in Barcelona.
It would form part of his defense strategy together with his new lawyers, the criminal
Cristóbal Martell
and his team, who have time until this Thursday to present an appeal for reform in the Barcelona Court asking for the immediate departure of Alves from the jail.
To do this, they will remember that he has a stable residence, there is no risk of flight since he is a well-known person and they will highlight that he himself agreed to collaborate with the Mossos when he appeared at the police appointment after returning to Barcelona from Mexico for a family matter.
Alves' legal defense details that the player at all times showed his predisposition to help clarify this complaint, of which he considers himself innocent, for which reason he will
request less burdensome measures than pretrial detention
, such as the withdrawal of the passport, periodic appearances in the court, prohibition to leave the country or the payment of a deposit, which would be high taking into account the income of the player.
The appeal is presented in court and in a subsidiary manner in the Barcelona Court to gain time, since presumably the judge will keep Alves in prison, so the magistrates of the Barcelona Court will be asked to position themselves.
However, the final decision could take several weeks, which would mean that Alves would continue a few more weeks in prison.
