The defense of Dani Alves presents this Thursday in court 15 of Barcelona the letter requesting the freedom of the player, in prison since January 20, accused of raping a 23-year-old girl at dawn on December 31 at the Sutton nightclub . The document on which the lawyers Cristóbal Martell and Arnau Xumetra have worked this morning, is accompanied by a detailed report of more than 200 pages in which the defense analyzes, frame by frame, the images captured by the room's security cameras and the statements of the victim and his two companions.
A report that the prosecutor presents to the magistrate of Barcelona Court 15 accompanied by a 12-minute video that shows the moments in which Alves and his companion, his friend, cook and bodyguard, Bruno Brasil, interact with the complainant, his cousin and her friend, in the private room of the Tusset street room. Based on that video, the report analyzes in a very didactic way each of the frames that the player's defense considers to be relevant and compares them with what the three young women declared in police headquarters and ratified in court.
A comparison between what is seen in the images and what has been declared that in the opinion of Alves' defense are not the same. This is the line in which Martell and his team work, in sowing doubts about the story of the 23-year-old by assuring that what she declared and what is recorded does not match; one can also doubt what she says that she spent inside the bathroom, without cameras.
Alves returned to the City of Justice on Monday to testify before the magistrate at his own request. He did it for the second time, coinciding with the three months that he has been imprisoned in preventive custody, and said that what happened inside the bathroom was "free and consensual" sexual relations between two adults who had previously had "sexual chemistry".
A version of the defendant, the fourth or fifth since the complaint became known, and which is literally contrary to that of the victim who declared that same morning in Sutton to a mosso, later at the hospital, later to the mossas of the Central Unit of Sexual Assaults (UCAS) and later in the court that entered the bathroom coerced and afraid; that she did not know it was a bath, that she was raped and that she repeatedly asked the defendant to stop.
On Monday the victim's lawyer, Ester García, asked the defendant, who offered to respond to all parties, if the relationship had been the way he proposed it, why then had his client denounced it. And Alves assured that the young woman's reaction could only be justified because her attitude was "not very courteous" with her, since when she finished, fifteen minutes later, she asked her to each go their separate ways and not show gestures of intimacy in front of her. people, because he was a married man.
