The prison protest compromises the hearing on the freedom of Dani Alves

Dani Alves is summoned tomorrow, Tuesday, along with his lawyers and the accusations at the hearing that he must resolve if he can be released provisionally. The footballer must follow the event by videoconference from the Brians 2 prison where he is being held. The protests of prison workers who have blocked access to the prisons and changed the normal functioning of the centers compromise the hearing on Alves' freedom from being held. The law establishes the obligation for the accused to be able to attend and follow the course of this procedure. If you cannot do so, the hearing would be suspended and postponed to another day. With the blocking of access to prisons, visits by lawyers with their clients cannot be made due to lack of personnel, nor can videoconferences or transfers for judicial interrogations or the holding of trials. If the situation remains the same tomorrow, Tuesday, Alves's sight could be affected.

The Brians 2 prison where Dani Alves is held is one of those where this Monday the prisoners were able to leave their cells along with the inmates of Quatre Camins and Joves, although the staff is minimal and the activities cannot be carried out. ordinary, as detailed by the Department of Justice. The former Barça footballer is summoned before the court after his lawyer, Inés Guardiola, presented an appeal requesting his release after the four and a half year sentence for raping a young woman who imposed section 21 of the Barcelona Court. The footballer could make bail available to the court to ensure that he will not escape.

In the same appeal presented by his defense, he argued that the payment of 150,000 in compensation that served as a mitigating circumstance to reduce the footballer's sentence should be considered highly qualified, so the sentence should be reduced. On the other hand, the Prosecutor's Office and the private prosecution, which represents the victim, will demand that he remain in provisional detention considering that there is still a risk of escape. In the appeals that presented both accusations, they demanded that the former soccer player be punished with more punishment by questioning his "will to repair the damage caused."
