Brazilian defender Dani Alves is to be tried on sexual assault charges in Spain, EFE reported yesterday.<\/p>\n
In an order, Section 21 of Barcelona\u2019s high court confirmed Alves\u2019 prosecution, concluding that the victim\u2019s and witnesses\u2019 statements as well as expert corroboration provide enough evidence to try him for sexual assault.<\/p>\n
Dani Alves has been in custody since January following the allegations of sexual assault.<\/p>\n
The former Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain star was detained in January after being accused of raping a young woman in the bathroom of a nightclub in Barcelona on December 30 of last year.<\/p>\n
Alves, 40, has since been held in custody without bail in a jail in Barcelona and his requests to be freed were denied by the court because he is considered a flight risk.<\/p>\n
When the allegations first emerged, Alves denied in a television interview that he knew the woman involved. He later said that sex with the accuser was consensual.<\/p>\n
Alves\u2019 contract with Liga MX club Pumas UNAM, the club he joined after leaving Barcelona in June 2022, was terminated on January 20.<\/p>\n
After Tuesday\u2019s court order, the prosecutor\u2019s office and prosecutors hired by the victim have five business days to present their provisional statements, in which they must argue whether Alves should be acquitted or convicted and, in this case, what penalty they consider should be applied.<\/p>\n
After they have presented those statements, a trial date will be set.<\/p>\n
