“I ask the press outside my home to please respect my privacy at this time. My mother died a week ago.

understand the case
Daniel Alves was arrested last Friday after giving evidence to police in Barcelona, Spain, on an accusation of sexual assault against a young woman at a local nightclub.
The Catalan authorities informed that the player must remain detained until the trial of the case takes place, still without a defined date. Later, Pumas, from Mexico, announced the contract termination of the 39-year-old side.
The judge in the case, Maria Concepción Canton Martín, ordered Daniel Alves to be held in custody without bail, a request that was accepted by the Public Ministry. It was she who heard all the testimonies (from the complainant, Daniel and a friend of the athlete who was present at the nightclub) and had access to the evidence presented by the young woman.
Daniel Alves, in turn, denies all accusations. He is being held at the Brians 1 Penitentiary Center on the outskirts of Barcelona. If he is convicted, the player can face a sentence of up to 15 years, depending on the seriousness of the crime.
