Brazilian soccer player Dani Alves served nine months in jail after being accused of allegedly raping a 23-year-old girl at the Sutton nightclub in Barcelona on December 30.
Alves awaits trial in prison, where he faces a crime of sexual assault with carnal access and for which he could be sentenced to a sentence of between 4 to 12 years in prison, according to the new Sexual Freedom Guarantee Law, which entered effective October 7, 2022.
From prison the footballer wrote a letter to his wife, the model Joana Sanz, where you can read a phrase that the Brazilian player borrows from the iconic song ‘La Flaca’ by Jarabe de Palo: “For a kiss from the skinny girl I would give “Anything, for a kiss from her, even if it was just one.”
After that well-known phrase, Dani Alves writes the following: “Wherever, whatever, whatever… But with you always by my side. I love you”.
The text is accompanied by an image made by Dani Alves in which two people are seen holding hands and with a heart, which has been interpreted as a representation of Alves himself and Joana Sanz.
Last judicial statement
Dani Alves in his last judicial statement indicated that the 23-year-old girl never told him to stop and that the relations were consensual.
“Neither in the booth, nor in the bathroom, she never told me to stop any action, any exchange of caresses, or dancing… Neither she nor her friends. He was simply an accomplice to the desire that she had and that I had,” Dani Alves explained to the judge.
And he closed: “When we entered the bathroom, we stood face to face with each other, she kissed me and started taking off my pants. She sat me on the toilet and started giving me fellatio. I told her that I was going to go out first and that she should wait as a precaution, because she didn’t want them to see us in any attitude out there.”
