The messages between Alves's friend and the victim's cousin the morning of the alleged rape

The investigation for the alleged sexual assault of a young woman in the early hours of December 30 at the Suttton nightclub in Barcelona, ​​which keeps the former Barcelona player, Dani Alves, in prison, is practically complete. The magistrate has to resolve the writings presented by the victim's lawyer and the prosecutor's office, who are opposed to a coroner chosen by the soccer player's defense participating in the psychological examination of the complainant, as requested by the lawyer Cristóbal Martell. And meanwhile, and little by little, details of the cause that appears in the summary are being known with precision. For example, the message that Bruno Brasil, the Brazilian chef who accompanied the athlete that morning, sent to the victim's cousin privately and on Instagram when they said goodbye that night.

Bruno has become the essential pillar of Alves since he entered prison. He visits him practically every weekend, and he was in charge of going to the airport to look for the athlete's wife, Joana Sánchez, until now, on his first visit to the Brians 2 prison, where he has been admitted since he was arrested on the 20th of January.

The private messages sent by Instagram appear in the police report that the Central Unit for Sexual Assaults (UCAS) sent to the court. Therefore, it is important, even though the defense and the prosecution have different interpretations of it.

"Let's be brothers, my house is in (xxx). I'm not always there, but whatever you need, I'm available here. I liked you and your sister as people. I'm always ready to meet good friends." The young woman responds distantly: "Thank you very much and the same. Happy New Year."

For the player's defense, the message shows that what happened in the private bathroom of the Sutton nightclub was consented to by both parties. Because the communication occurred when the victim had already left the bathroom, after the player, and asked his cousin that they had to leave. Sources close to the prosecution disagree with this interpretation and maintain that the only intention of Alves' friend was to control how the victim's friends were breathing, to start a conversation that would allow them to find out if they intended to denounce, to act accordingly if they did. they did.
