Ex-Barcelona defender Dani Alves' trial on alleged sexual assault set for February 2024
Dani Alves, the former Brazil and Barcelona defender, is set for a high-profile trial in February 2024 over sexual assault allegations.
He has been in custody for about a year after he was denied bail for the period of the trial due to concerns about him being a flight risk.
Controversial actions by Dani Alves' mother
As the trial approaches, Lucia Alves is reported to have leaked photos and a video of the alleged victim. This video reportedly shows the victim dancing with friends and celebrating a birthday, although it is not related to the incident involving Alves.
)
The material, sourced from the victim's social media, includes a narration that criticises the victim's nightlife habits, seemingly in an attempt to portray Alves as innocent.
Public and Legal Repercussions
The leaked content has caused significant controversy. The victim, who has sought anonymity, may now face unwanted public attention and psychological harm.
)
The judge overseeing the case had ordered that the victim's identity be kept confidential to protect her rights and the integrity of the legal process, and Lucia Alves' action of revealing the victim's identity could potentially lead to legal consequences for her, including charges for "revealing secrets," which in Spain can result in a prison sentence or a fine, depending on the severity of the offence.
)
In addition to the legal implications for Lucia Alves, this incident has sparked public outrage and criticism, particularly on social media. The victim's lawyer is reportedly preparing a complaint against those who published the videos, including Lucia Alves and the lawyer who originally shared the content.
Dani Alves' trial and investigation
The case has been ongoing since last January, and Dani Alves has maintained his innocence throughout, despite having changed his testimony multiple times. His ex-wife and mother have publicly vouched for his innocence.
)
With the trial set to begin soon, this latest development could have implications for how the case unfolds
