The lawyers of Brazilian football player Dani Alves have prepared an appeal and will ask the court to release the player on bail, reports El Periodico.
Dani AlvesAccording to the source, in the appeal it is said that the video from the VIP area of the nightclub shows that the girl went to the toilet alone. In this regard, the lawyers believe that the victim's testimony is "seriously overestimated." They believe that their credibility needs to be scrutinized.
The video from the private room shows the applicant walking in on her in the company of a cousin and a friend. It happened at about 3:20 in the morning. Then, for 20 minutes, the company of 5 people, which included Alves, communicate in a "playful and cheerful style, surrounded by many people."
At one point Dani Alves went to the dressing room, two minutes later a girl enters the same dressing room. The lawyer believes that the video "speaks for itself" and emphasizes that it is the moment before sexual contact, and Dani entered the toilet first, and then the victim. The girl described that Alves made her feel "terrified" and plunged into an "atmosphere of dominance." According to the lawyer, the videos refute the version of the victim.
Alves' lawyers believe that in the relaxed atmosphere of the VIP area, everyone would have noticed the absence of Alves and his victim if they had not known in advance that they were planning to leave. According to Dani's lawyer, the video "disproves" the applicant's testimony.
We will remind that Dani Alves is suspected of raping a 23-year-old girl in one of the Barcelona clubs. The football player initially gave false testimony, but later admitted that he had a sexual relationship with the girl. Dani Alves is in the same cell as Ronaldinho's former bodyguard. Joana Sanz, the wife of a football player, filed for divorce.
