According to the newspaper The vanguard, Carmen Guil Román, the person in charge of writing the 13-page letter explaining the reasons why the former Barcelona player will remain in prison, explains that the arguments used by magistrate Anna Marín to arrest the player were “duly motivated”. . Furthermore, she clarified that The indications of the case against the Brazilian “are diverse and do not start only from the victim’s statement”. It is there that she alludes to the testimonies of witnesses and the disco workers themselves who “endorse in one way or another” what the 23-year-old declared that she would have suffered abuse from Alves.
Another of the details that indicate the resolution is related to the security cameras of the place where the sexual assault would have occurred. The indications against Alves are “so plentiful” that it was not necessary to carry out a detailed analysis of the images recorded in the nightclub that the two parties used to mark favorable situations on their side.

In the brief, Román referred to the defense attorney’s argument on the absence of vaginal lesions or resistance to rape. Remark that that does not “neutralize” the rest of the evidence about the alleged sexual assault and warned that it is a situation to review during the trial.
For its part, the third section of the Barcelona Court ruled that Alves continue to be detained because the knowledge he now has of the case and the evidence against him “exponentially increases the risk of initial leakage”. In the drafting of the arguments, it is established that when the player voluntarily appeared with the Catalan police, he did not do so because he had a feeling of “impunity”, as the lawyer of the young woman who had been abused had indicated. According to the hearing chaired by Navarro, the former San Pablo appeared before the Mossos d’Esquadra to give his testimony because “he was unaware of the scope of the investigation and the indications of criminality” against him that the Central Unit for Sexual Assaults had collected ( UCAS).
The court judge also found that the relationship between Alves and the city of Barcelona is “merely administrative”, and that he himself recognized that he traveled to vacation in the city. In addition, he remarked that he lThe economic situation would allow him “to anticipate the possibilities of leaving the country and moving to Brazil and thus make it impossible to hold the oral trial”Hence the decision to keep him in custody.
It is important to note that the prosecution of the Investigating Court number 15 used the case of the former striker Robinho to leave Alves in jail. The player, who took his first steps at Santos and later played for clubs like Real Madrid and Milan, was convicted of rape in three instances in Italy and currently lives freely in Brazil. This scenario was cited by prosecutors out of fear that Daniel Alves would travel to his native country and then he could not be extradited in the face of a possible conviction.
Lastly, the Court considered that the measures proposed by the defense of the player to have probation -using a magnetic anklet or appearing in court to prove that he is still in Barcelona- were not necessary guarantees to neutralize the risk of flight.
