Dani Alves has broken his silence. Until now, his version was known through his statements before the judge or in the writings of his lawyer. He changed versions four times. The famous Brazilian soccer player denies the accusation of sexual assault against him and for which he has been in prison since January 20. “Until now, a very scary story of fear and terror has been explained, which has nothing to do with what happened or what I did,” he says in La Vanguardia. He is in provisional prison. Up to two times, the investigating judge handling the case and later the Barcelona Provincial Court have rejected his lawyer’s request to release him.
From the Barcelona Brians 2 prison, the footballer assures that he has given an interview “to apologize to the only person” to whom he has to apologize, which is his wife, Joana Sanz. “I have already personally asked her for forgiveness here, in prison, but I must do it publicly, because the story is public, the offense is public and she deserves those public apologies,” he says. Therefore, he does not ask for forgiveness from the alleged victim.
According to his version, he did not sexually assault her as the 23-year-old maintains. The ex from Seville, Barcelona, Juventus and PSG maintains that he is innocent and that he previously agreed with the girl that they would have sexual relations in the bathroom of the reserved room of the Sutton nightclub in Barcelona on December 30. “Everything that happened and didn’t happen there inside her only she and I know,” he says. She claims that he hit her and that he raped her inside the bathroom.

The investigation of the case is in its last phase, already finished. There is even talk that the trial could be held in the fall of this year. The soccer player insists that there was consensual sex and the girl from day one says the opposite, that she was raped. She entered the booth. Seeing that it was a bathroom, she wanted to go out. Alves locked her up, according to her story. He sat on the toilet and forcibly put it on top of her, the victim maintains. She asked him to stop and let her go. He threw her to the ground, grabbed her by the neck, slapped her, pushed her against the toilet, and raped her. He came out of the bathroom crying.
“If I had seen her cry…”
The former Barça and PSG player, among other elite world football teams, tries to justify his controversial attitude that night. “I did not see her. If I had seen her cry, I would have stopped to ask what was happening, “he says in the interview. «If someone in charge of the disco had asked me to wait for me because a young woman claimed that I had sexually assaulted her, I am not going home. That same night I show up at a police station », he points out.
Alves assures that he slept peacefully that night and that the only thing he regrets is having been unfaithful to his wife. «I left the Sutton calm. I arrived at my house. I showered because my wife was already asleep and I was ashamed of the infidelity, “he says. He found out about the complaint through the media. «I called my lawyer, Miraida Puentes, on the phone. She consulted with the Mossos and in the courts and assured me that there was no complaint and that she could travel and leave Spain with complete peace of mind. That’s why I left », he concludes.
