It all started with a typical night out for Dani Alves, but things got bad and the end is still not in sight. After partying in Barcelona and meeting some young girls, the Brazilian international ended up being accused of rape. After such serious accusation, Alves was placed into custody where he remained for three months and on Monday appeared in front of the judge and admitted lying during the first testimony.🚨| JUST IN: Dani Alves admitted today before the judge that he had ‘consensual penetrative sexual relations’ with the victim girl in Sutton nightclub in BCN. Alves lied in his first statement to protect his relationship with his wife.

He admitted lying in the first place because he didn’t want his wife to find out about his infidelity. But, model Joana Sanz eventually found out and announced divorce from Alves, after eight years of marriage. This was not the first time the Brazilian gave false statement during this process. He first claimed he never knew the women, then said he wanted to protect her, then said he didn’t have anything with her, then admitted it was just oral sex. When the results from the lab arrived, it was clear that they did have sex, but then he said it was consensual sex and not rape.Dani Alves shares his prison cell with fellow countryman CoutinhoWith all these contradictorily testimonies from Alves, it is now clear that the judge did the right thing when she denied him bail, as she was afraid that he might escape Spain due to potentially heavy sentence he could face and the fact Brazil was unlikely to extradite him for trial. Police said they received a complaint from a young woman on January 2, with a source close to the investigation confirming Alves was accused of rape. The incident reportedly took place in the bathroom of a popular Barcelona nightclub in late December. At the time of the incident, Alves was on holiday in Barcelona after playing for Brazil at the World Cup in Qatar.##NAJAVA_MECA_7180192##
