Courts Dani Alves' lawyers believe that he will be released from prison within a month
As expected, the player's lawyers Dani Alves have filed an appeal against his pretrial detention and request that he leave jail while the Examining Court number 15 of Barcelona investigates the alleged sexual assault of a 23-year-old woman in a private room at the nightclub Sutton in Barcelona on December 30.
The appeal was filed in court but
the Barcelona Court must decide if it considers
it or maintains provisional detention.
In a 20-page letter with numerous additional documentation, the lawyers argue that there is no flight risk for the player since his residence is near Barcelona, in a house
he bought almost a decade ago, and that the headquarters of the companies that

In addition, they assure that Alves wants to face the judicial process since he considers that he is innocent of the accusation.
In this sense, he maintains that the relationships were consensual and that he initially offered a false version, that he did not know the victim, for fear of the reaction of his wife.
Precisely, the model Joana Sanz, his wife, deleted all the photos with the player from her social networks when they confirmed this infidelity.
Alves is aware that the changes in his version in his judicial statement and his defense will be
based on his total collaboration with the justice
system to clarify the case and that he will never leave the country since he wants to recover his damaged public image. for the rape accusations.
In this sense, he recalled that this collaboration began when he went to an appointment with the Mossos in Barcelona two weeks ago flying from Mexico, since he played for a club there, and passing through Tenerife since he attended his mother-in-law's funeral.
She will insist that he did it knowing that he was accused of sexual assault, although he was unaware of the extensive evidence against him and of his first version that he did not know the victim.
To guarantee that there is no risk of flight, the lawyers request in the appeal several measures such as prohibiting him from leaving the country, handing over his passport, paying a high bail or appearing periodically in court.
In addition, he is willing to wear a telematics bracelet, as indicated a few days ago by the law firm that represents the Brazilian.
Now, Alves will remain in prison until the decision of the Court of Barcelona that
can take several weeks.
Meanwhile, the investigation continues its course and it is expected that next Friday several witnesses who were in the VIP room of the nightclub with the victim and Alves, such as their friends or some employees, will testify.
Although they testified before the Mossos, they must endorse the statement in court.
For the moment, they have highlighted the nervous and guilty attitude of the woman after suffering the alleged sexual assault and the alleged attitude of harassing Alves before going to the bathroom with her.
