Dani Alves faces 12 years in prison

Dani Alves is currently facing potential imprisonment of up to 12 years. His trial is scheduled to take place between October and November of this year. Despite multiple requests for release on remand being denied, Alves remains incarcerated. There are concerns that he may flee the country, particularly to his native Brazil, which does not extradite its citizens. The specific trial dates for Alves have yet to be officially confirmed. If found guilty, he could face a sentence ranging from six to 12 years.

He was detained in January upon returning to Spain from Mexico, while playing for UNAM Pumas, following the passing of Sanz’s mother. Before his arrest, he claimed in a TV interview that he had never met his accuser. However, he later changed his statement after being detained, asserting that there was no assault and that there had been consensual involvement. Alves maintains his innocence while admitting to infidelity but denies any sexual assault.
