“I’m not that kind of man; I’m not a violent person”, Alves answered the defense lawyer’s question about whether he forced the woman to have sex.
According to the victim, she danced with Alves and voluntarily went with him to the bathroom. However, she said that when she later tried to leave, he stopped her, slapped her, insulted her and forced her to have sex against her will.
In contrast, Dani Alves maintained that the encounter was consensual, emphasizing that the woman never expressed a desire to leave or showed any reluctance to have sex.
Since January 20, 2023, Alves has been in pre-trial detention after being deemed a flight risk by the judge, leading to a request for bail being denied. Notably, Brazil does not extradite convicted citizens to other countries.
During the investigation, while in custody, Alves initially denied any sexual contact with the woman before admitting to consensual encounters. He attributed his initial refusal to a desire to protect his marriage.

A decorated footballer, Alves achieved success with famous clubs such as Barcelona, Juventus and Paris Saint-Germain, winning many titles. He also represented Brazil internationally, winning two Copa America titles and an Olympic gold medal.
