Dani Alves is accused of having raped a 23-year-old girl in the bathroom of a disco in Barcelona in the early hours of December 31, 2022. The case is the first media trial in Spain for a sexual crime that will be tried under the new sexual freedom law.

The law places consent at the center of the debate to evaluate whether sexual behavior is criminal or not. The court must decide whether or not to grant him the provisional release requested by his defense lawyer until it is known failure.
