Dani Alves' controversial gesture to a police officer upon his arrival at the Barcelona Provincial Court

On March 25, Dani Alves left the Brians II prison in Barcelona after depositing the stratospheric bail of one million euros that the Provincial Court of Barcelona requested of him to obtain provisional freedom until the final sentence is handed down.

However, the former F.C. player Barcelona is obliged to meet a series of conditions. The Brazilian, who was sentenced last February to four and a half years in prison for sexually assaulting a young woman in a nightclub in Barcelona, ​​had to hand over his two passports, the Brazilian and the Spanish, to avoid the risk of drain. Furthermore, he must appear every week at the Barcelona Court to sign and record that he remains at the disposal of the court.

This Friday, April 5, the athlete once again went to court accompanied, as on every occasion, by his lawyer, Inés Guardiola. However, his presence at the Provincial Court of Barcelona has sparked controversy due to a curious gesture that he had with the Mossos D'Esquadra upon his arrival.

The former soccer player arrived at the judicial body escorted by the authorities, but just before entering the Provincial Court, Dani Alves touched the back of a Mosso d'Esquadra and both exchanged a knowing smile. A gesture that has not gone unnoticed by the media present there and that has been harshly criticized by several television collaborators.

''You know well, Mayka, that we defend and respect the Mossos a lot in this program, but, perhaps, you could tell this agent who is coming to greet Dani Alves,'' Patricia Pardo declared in the program Vamos a Ver. Furthermore, the presenter stressed that the gesture was "a little ugly" because "he had been convicted of rape", despite there being no final verdict yet. ''He's out of place,'' she said. On the other hand, the collaborators of the Telecinco program have not seen well the extensive security device that the Brazilian had.
