Jailed For 298 Days, Barcelona Legend Dani Alves to Undergo Trial in Assault Case, Per Reports

Former Barcelona star Dani Alves will undergo trial after being indicted in an assault case last year. The concerned authorities took Dani Alves into custody last year, and he has been behind bars for over 298 days. While Alves has not pleaded guilty, the court has found comprehensive evidence against the player for him to stand trial.

According to his lawyers, Dani Alves remains unhappy with how the narrative has been twisted to frame him. Furthermore, the player has claimed that he did not assault the accuser, and whatever happened between the two was on mutual consent. The prosecution has submitted their charges against the player, with the trial expected to take place in April 2024.

Alves found himself in the headlines after they accused him of an assault last year. After that, the officials arrested the Brazilian on the 20th of January and put him behind bars in Barcelona. The player is set to undergo trial in the same case, with the court finding sustainable evidence against the player.

According to Relevo, the statement given goes,  “The National Court sends Dani Alves to trial for sexual assault.

Alves’ former wife, Dinorah Santana, has been a keen figure in the player’s defense. However, Santana has decided to wash her hands with the player. She stated that she did not want to do anything related to the former Barcelona star.
