On May 6, Dani Alves celebrated his 40th birthday in a way that he would never have imagined, in prison. The soccer player is still admitted to the Brians 2 prison in Barcelona on a preventive basis, after being accused of raping a 23-year-old girl in a bathroom in a private room at the Sutton nightclub on December 30. Since January he has been locked up due to flight risk, for which a bitter anniversary has passed.

However, there is a person who has not missed the opportunity to show his support for the footballer. And this has been his mother, Lucía Alves. Starting with some nice words to her son, the Brazilian wanted to show the love she feels for him, without forgetting to claim her innocence with a dart-shaped message.

“God always in command”, is how Alves’ mother begins to relate the heartfelt congratulations, which may not be seen by the footballer until he has access to social networks. “40 years ago today you came to us. Filling our lives and hearts with happiness, infinite love, light, blessings and many indescribable feelings that will always be there,” continues the Brazilian.

And it is not the first time that Lucía Alves shows the pride she feels towards her son through her Instagram account. Although now she can glimpse the pain she feels between her words. “The great love of our lives is spending her birthday differently today,” she says.

Convinced of her innocence, Lucía Alves has wanted to transform a heartfelt congratulation into an open letter where she expresses her thoughts about what happened. “Unfortunately, you have been assaulted by those who have done everything. My son is good and people suffer because he believes in those who are not in a hurry,” she says.

But the biggest dart thrown by the Brazilian can be found in the following sentence: “God goes through everything head-on, the one who has put you in that trap will pay for everything”. Some cryptic words that, without a doubt, leave no one indifferent. Although it cannot be known to whom they are addressed, what is clear is that for Lucía Alves her son is innocent.

“God is taking care of the smallest details and don’t give up on me, my son. Be strong and this nightmare will end then. Happy birthday my love, give him peace and long life. We love you to infinity and beyond,” concludes the mother. of the footballer

From the beginning of the entire judicial process, Alves himself is in charge of proclaiming his innocence left and right. According to a fellow prisoner, the Brazilian always denies having raped the young woman, assuring that she was consensual in a “party atmosphere”. However, it is not the first time that the footballer has changed his version, which has made things more complicated for him in the face of the trial.
