Former Barcelona and Brazilian national team defender Daniel Alves will be tried in Spain on charges of sexually assaulting a woman in a Barcelona nightclub last December, a Spanish court said on Tuesday (14).
Daniel Alves was arrested on January 20 and is being held in a prison on the outskirts of Barcelona. If he is found guilty, he could be sentenced to a prison term of four to 15 years. He stated that he had consensual sexual relations with the accuser.
In a document signed by three judges, the 15th investigative court in Barcelona, which has not yet set a date for the start of the procedure, said there were sufficient reasons for Daniel Alves to be tried, following requests from the prosecution and the lawyer for the case. woman.
In August, judges formally indicted Daniel Alves after finding evidence of irregularities committed by the 40-year-old player.
“The statements of the alleged victim and the statements of the witnesses and the reports of the experts appearing in the process must be considered sufficient for this purpose, without prejudice to the final result after the plenary phase,” said the court.
