The judicial case that affects Dani Alves could experience a 180 degree turn after his latest news. Just a few days ago the details of the graphic evidence that his defense has provided to try to prove the innocence of the footballer, accused of sexual assault on a young woman in a Barcelona nightclub last January, became known.
Little by little, new details about the cause are being made public, and it is now that more statements by Alves have been discovered before the lawyer handling his case. The En boca de todos program, by Cuatro, has accessed this Wednesday the footballer’s testimony from the defendants’ bench, and that the journalist Nacho Abad has revealed.
In this new statement to the judge, Dani Alves says he cannot “ratify” his previous words, something that he attributes to “an obsession, which was to protect” his marriage with Joana Sanz. The athlete noticed “a sexual attraction” between him and “the lady”, as he calls the complainant of the facts. “I noticed his good disposition from the way he danced, how he approached me,” he declared.
Bruno, a friend of Alves, “played the screen” for the soccer player and the young woman, although, always according to the testimony of the defendant, they also felt “exposed” and needed privacy. “It was when I told her to move all that to the bathroom. When I arrived, inside the bathroom, I peed, and two or three minutes later, since I didn’t arrive, I went out,” said Dani Alves.
Dani Alves continues to try to defend himself against accusations of sexual assault. “It is not that I have gone out to call her again, but when I am leaving, I practically find her at the door,” says the footballer, after which the prosecutor is interested in knowing if “at any time” the alleged victim “He told her no.” “At no time,” Alves replied.
The lawyer in the case takes action to remind the footballer that “in any case, in the bathroom, all sexual relations” described by Dani Alves “pass over the toilet bowl”, without touching “the sink”. “No, I certainly don’t,” insisted the footballer. “I was simply an accomplice of the desire that she had or of the desire that I had,” he declared right after, giving details about his departure from the club: “When we go out, we always do it at an accelerated pace to avoid any crowd, and I didn’t see her at the start”, concluded Alves.
