Dani Alves arrested in Barcelona after alleged sexual assault | OneFootball

Dani Alves was reportedly arrested in Barcelona on Friday morning following allegations of sexual assault.

According to Spanish outlets Cadena SER and TV3, the 39-year-old was arrested at the Mossos d’Esquadra de Les Corts police station after he was called to testify about the alleged sexual assault of a woman in Barcelona’s Sutton nightclub on 30 December.

The Brazilian – who currently plays for Pumas in Mexico – was reportedly transported in a police car a few minutes after 10am to the Ciutat de la Justicia in Barcelona, where he will attend court while a judge decides on his provisional situation while the case is being investigated.

The allegation was reportedly made against Alves two days after it is said to have occurred. The Superior Court of Justice of Catalonia (TSJC) says the case is currently still under investigation.
