Dani Alves, summoned this Thursday at the Barcelona Court

The court of section 21 of the Barcelona Court has summoned all the parties in the procedure against Dani Alves, tried for sexual assault with penetration, for this Thursday. The player is also summoned, who will leave the Brians 2 prison.

The prosecutor, Elisabet Jiménez, the prosecution and lawyer of the complainant, Ester García and the defense and lawyer of the accused, Inés Guardiola, as well as Alves himself, have been summoned to the meeting, as La Vanguardia has confirmed from several sources.

The trial against the footballer was scheduled for sentencing on the 7th. At that moment, the Brazilian's defense requested the release of the accused, a request that two weeks later the three members of the court have not resolved, although they promised to do so and to communicate the decision before passing the sentence.

Hence, this Thursday's appointment may be related to that resolution on the personal situation of the accused. Although everything suggests that the court will keep Dani Alves in prison, the fact that the three magistrates needed two weeks suggests that there has been debate among the members until reaching a unanimous decision, which can be appealed.

Another option is that the court, chaired by Judge Isabel Delgado, has already drafted the sentence in these two weeks and one day that they have had since the three sessions that the hearing lasted were held.
