He played football with the neighboring kids. Alves’ father had a passion for football as well, and eventually managed to organize his own football team.

Alves, at age 6, started as a winger, but because of the lack of goals he scored, his father re-positioned him as a right back, a position he still plays up to this day. Also Alves worked as a farmer and a trader in his youth.

Dani Alves Prison 

Brazil defender Dani Alves was taken into custody in Spain on Friday over allegations that he sexually assaulted a woman at a Barcelona nightclub in December, police said.

It was unclear whether Alves, 39, would remain in police custody after the hearing.

The alleged victim told police that the Brazil and former Barcelona soccer star touched her under her underwear without her consent at a Barcelona nightclub on the night of Dec. 30.

Accompanied by her friends, the woman reported the incident to the nightclub’s security staff, who then alerted police.

Officers arrived at the scene and took a statement from the woman. She filed an official complaint for sexual assault on Jan. 2.

Alves told Antena 3 in an interview earlier this month that he was at the club with other people but he denied any such behaviour.

Alves, 39, is accused of sexually assaulting a woman in a nightclub in Barcelona in December.

In a video statement later on Friday, Liga MX club Pumas UNAM president Leopoldo Silva announced that they were terminating Alves’ contract.

“Club Universidad makes the decision to terminate the contract with Dani Alves with just cause,” Silva said.

“This is an institution that promotes respect and the correct, dignified and professional behavior of its male and female players both on and off the field because they are role models in Mexico and throughout the world. We cannot permit any conduct that would damage our philosophy.”

Alves returned to Spain from Mexico this week to face the charges. He presented himself at a local police station in Barcelona on Friday and was then taken to the Ciutat de la Justicia by officers pending examination by the judge.

State prosecutors had asked for him to be held without bail, and a judge agreed after charging him with sexual assault following several hours of testimony from him, the alleged victim and a witness, the court said.

Unless that decision is reversed on appeal, Alves will remain in custody until trial at a still-unspecified date. The initial investigation was launched earlier this month. Alves has denied any wrongdoing.

Wife

Spanish supermodel and wife of Dani Alves, Joana Sanz, has come out in defence of her husband following charges against him bordering on the sexual assault of a woman in a nightclub and “I know who my husband is,” Sanz was quoted by Diario AS.

“I know how respectful he is because not even when he was getting to know me did he disrespect me.

“I have seen many times how women approach the booth, daring, to try something with my husband, in my face,” she said.

Alves and Joana married secretly in Ibiza back in 2017. That was after she had rejected two marriage proposals from the ex-Barcelona defender.

Joana is a popular model in Spain with an Instagram followership of more than one million people.

The sexual assault charges on the 39-year-old Alves are pretty grievous as revealed by Diario Sport.

The Pumas player is accused of locking up a woman in the bathroom before beating and raping her. The woman claims Alves also asked her to say ‘I’m your b*tch’, and then forced her to sit on top of him.

This evening, a judge in Spain sentenced Alves to prison without an option of bail until the trial is over. The player will be rearrested and imprisoned today.

Detained 

A Spanish court on Friday ordered Brazil defender Dani Alves to be held in custody without bail after he was arrested in Barcelona on allegations he sexually assaulted a woman.

A Barcelona judge took the step after questioning the 39-year-old player regarding “events that allegedly took place at a nightclub,” the court said in a statement.

A source close to the dossier said the judge had taken the step — which was requested by public prosecutors — because the court considered there was a risk Alves would try to flee.

His club, Mexico’s Pumas, announced hours later that it had sacked the player because of what it called “just cause.”

Alves, one of football’s most successful players, was taken into custody earlier on Friday after being summoned to a Barcelona police station and was then sent before the judge.

Catalonian police said they received a complaint on January 2 from a woman who accused Alves of sexual assault.

The charge of sexual assault in Spain can mean anything from unsolicited and unwanted sexual groping to rape.
