Brazilian footballer Dani Alves, who is currently in preventive detention accused of rape in a Barcelona nightclub, is “haggard,” according to the Spanish television program “Fiesta,” which cites a fellow inmate who is in the same module as the former FC Barcelona player.
The prisoner described how Alves is “lost” in the module and that people are disrespectful towards him, with inmates at meal times banging on the glass and shouting “you, queer!” and “rapist!”
Alves reportedly only leaves the module to play in sports matches against other modules or to watch television in the common area. The inmate also noted that Alves has lost weight, looks haggard, and is visibly sad at times.
Regarding the alleged privileges that Alves may have within the prison, the inmate said that “sometimes he does have privileges.”
The source also claimed that the former Barcelona player has denied the alleged rape, stating that everything was “consensual” on “a night of partying.”
Alves has been in custody without bail since January 20th, after a 23-year-old woman reported that he locked her in a nightclub bathroom on December 30th, forced her to perform oral sex, slapped her, and then raped her before leaving.
