A dramatic development in the case of the alleged sexual assault of Dani Alves.
The court in Barcelona decided today (Friday) to arrest the Brazilian defender and imprison him in prison without the possibility of release on bail.
This is a firm step that may indicate that the evidence against Alves is solid and well-founded.
The 39-year-old defender was transferred immediately after the hearing to a prison in Catalonia, and it is still unclear when he will be able to be released.
This is a surprising ruling that contradicts the estimates according to which Alves will not be arrested, or at most will be arrested under restrictive conditions.
It is suspected that Alves, who was in Barcelona on Christmas vacation, attacked a young woman in a night club in the city, and touched her private parts without consent.
According to the reports, immediately after the attack the same young woman called the security forces at the club, but he managed to leave the place before she was questioned or interrogated.
According to Alves, the two had sexual contact with full consent.
The affair is branching out.

Alves is considered one of the greatest defenders in the history of Barcelona, whose media he wore between 2008-2016, and even returned to it in the second half of last season.
Since leaving the Blaugrana, he has been playing in Mexico and recently was even included in the Brazil national team squad for the 2022 World Cup.
