Four years and six months in prison for sexual violence. This is the sentence that Dani Alves, former player of Barcelona and Juventus, will have to serve for raping a 23-year-old girl in the bathrooms of the Sutton nightclub in Barcelona in December 2022. Once the sentence is served, Dani Alves will have to live five years of supervised freedom. For the Brazilian, a nine-year restraining order has been established towards the victim and a compensation of 150,000 euros towards the victim. The judges of Section 21 have imposed the sentence on the former Barcelona, Sevilla and Juventus player, but they did not accept the request of the Prosecutor's Office which initially asked for 9 years in prison, which the public prosecution had raised to 12. Dani Alves has already served over a year in prison and will therefore remain in prison.
The victim's account
"I went to the bathroom of my own free will. We exchanged a few kisses then I said I wanted to leave", is the beginning of the dramatic account of the victim who had already anticipated part of it to La Vanguardia. Dani Alves, at the woman's refusal, acted: "He told me no and locked the door. He started to insult me saying 'you are my little whore' and also started to hit me. He threw my bag on the floor and grabbed me by the clothes".
