As the source informs, Alves' lawyers did everything possible for the footballer to leave prison before the court verdict. They offered to hand over the football player's passport to law enforcement agencies, and also assured that the player is ready to wear an electronic bracelet and "mark" his stay every day.

However, the Barcelona court decided that the Brazilian will remain in a pre-trial detention cell until the hearing in the rape case.

We will remind that Dani Alves is suspected of raping a 23-year-old girl in one of the clubs in Barcelona. 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.
