Former Barcelona and Brazil defender, Dani Alves has again been denied bail as a probe into a s3xual assault claim leveled against him continues.
The 40-year-old player who was arrested in January 2023 for allegedly s3xually assaulting a lady on December 30, 2022, in a Barcelona nightclub was denied bail again after a review of footage presented by the defense showing him allegedly flirting with the accuser.
After reviewing the footage, a Spanish court decided on Monday that Alves will remain in jail, however, the court dismissed the evidence, stating that flirting should not “in any way justify an eventual s3xual assault.
The player whose contract with Mexican club Pumas UNAM was terminated as a result of the accusation and was jailed without bail still remains in custody and has apparently been labelled a flight risk.
