The third section of The Court of Barcelona has decided to reject the appeal of Dani Alves in which his defense requested the release of the player arguing that he had roots and a life project in Barcelona, where his two children would have settled to study.
So, The Catalan court keeps the footballer in provisional prison after being denounced by a 23-year-old girl who said that he had sexually assaulted her in the private bathroom of the Sutton nightclub in Barcelona on the night of December 30 last year.
For the Court of Barcelona, the “flight risk remains” and thus dismisses the appeal filed by Alves’ defense against the decision of the investigating judge to send the Brazilian player to prison, imprisoned since last January 20.
for the room, no other precautionary measure “can neutralize with sufficient guarantees” the risk of flight, to thus ensure their presence at the trial. In its resolution, the court rejects the main argument put forward by the player’s defense in the appeal, that Alves has a “life project” in Spain, and questions his roots in the country.
“fictitious project”
For Ester García, the complainant’s lawyer, Alves’ argument It is “a fictitious life project” and, in addition, he stressed that the two descendants of the Brazilian continue to live in Mexico. Also, he considers that Alves continues to have enough financial resources to “change countries again if he wanted to flee.”
The resource is one more in the strategy led by Cristóbal Martell to try to get your client out of jail until the trial for the sex crime that is imputed to him is celebrated. Until now, all attempts have been in vain, since The judges have considered that the Brazilian has the capacity to flee to Brazila country with which Spain has no extradition treaty.
