The trial against Dani Alves for the alleged rape of a 23-year-old girl in Sutton nightclub in Barcelona on December 30, 2022 is scheduled to take place between October and November. The case could take a turn after the Brazilian changed his lawyer, now defended by Inés Guardiola, a lawyer specialising in sexual assault and criminal law, rather than Cristóbal Martell.
According to information published by 'El Español', the defence strategy has changed and now the intention is for Alves to reach an agreement with the Spanish justice system to reduce his sentence as much as possible. It should not be forgotten that he faces a prison sentence of between 8 and 10 years.
Both the examining magistrate and the Provincial Court of Barcelona denied the footballer parole on two occasions, despite many attempts by his former lawyer.
According to the aforementioned media outlet, this possible agreement, according to judicial sources, is already being negotiated and with real possibilities of reaching an agreement.
In order to do so, Alves will have to compensate the victim for the damages caused and also plead guilty to the crime. The Brazilian has changed his version of what happened as many as five times, but has always defended his innocence.
