The Barcelona Court has summoned the former FC Barcelona footballer to inform him of the sentence in the trial for the alleged rape of a 23-year-old girl. The Prosecutor's Office requests nine years in prison for the Brazilian player for a crime of sexual assault, a request that the private prosecution raises to 12 years.

While the victim claims that she was raped violently, Alves claims that they were consensual relations. This Thursday, the player will be driven in a police van from the Brians prison to the Palace of Justice, in the center of Barcelona.
