Trial of former Barça and PSG star Dani Alves for the rape of a young woman in a nightclub in December 2022 opened on Monday in Barcelona. In pre-trial detention for more than a year, the Brazilian, who disputes the facts, is accused of having raped her.
The prosecution is demanding nine years in prison against him, as well as the payment of 150,000 euros to the young woman and 10 years of supervised release at the end of her incarceration. In order to protect her in the face of the great media interest this trial arouses, her hearing will be held behind closed doors.
