The acclaimed Brazilian soccer player Dani Alves was arrested on January 20, 2023 accused of allegedly raping a young girl in a Barcelona nightclub at the end of December.
Due to the risk of flight and the large amount of evidence found in the case, the Judge denied the athlete provisional release. During these months, Alves has changed his version several times, acknowledging in one of his last visits that he did have sexual relations with the young woman, but that they were consented to and that if the girl cried afterwards, as the local cameras captured, it is because it was “very borderline” after the “intercourse”.
Although the one who was his partner when the news broke supported him at first, with the passage of time he began to mistrust and finally left the footballer through a letter in his own handwriting that he shared with his followers through Instagram .
While Joana Sanz turned her back on the man she loved, the player’s first wife, Dinora Santana, gave some interviews to the media to defend the innocence of the father of her children. According to what she told the newspaper Sport, she and her children were very affected by the arrest of Alves and would move to the Catalan city as soon as possible to support him.
After several weeks of planning it, the moment has arrived and Dinora Santana has landed at the Barcelona airport with her current partner and the two children she has in common with Alves: Dani and Victoria.
A little nervous and overwhelmed by the large number of journalists and photographers who were waiting for her at the air facilities, Santana has declared that “of course” she still believes that her ex is innocent: “That’s 100%. There has never been a doubt.”
The Brazilian family has come to Spain to look at the schools where their children will study next September, the date on which they will settle permanently in Spain to begin a new stage with the soccer player.
Dinora Santana is carrying out this change of residence above all to help Alves and demonstrate the commitment with which the former Barcelona player’s defense will try to obtain his provisional release pending trial.
Given the latest news from the Tenerife model that confirms that she is starting a new stage in another residence and that she wants to live apart from the controversy and the legal case of her ex-partner, Santana has declared that she knows nothing.
“I really don’t know anything about Joana. I don’t know anything about her marriage, that doesn’t concern me,” she explained, somewhat nervously, to the dozens of reporters and journalists who were waiting for her at the Catalan airport.
