How many years in prison does Dani Alves face?

Seen for sentence. This is how the trial against the Brazilian footballer Dani Alves ended this Wednesday for an alleged sexual assault on a girl in a bathroom at the Sutton nightclub in Barcelona on December 30, 2022. Now, the athlete is awaiting the ruling and sentencing, after a process in which he has defended that the relationships were “consensual.” “We were both enjoying it,” said the former FC Barcelona player before the court that tried him for the alleged sexual assault and to whom he assured that the girl voluntarily performed fellatio on him. After learning from the newspaper ABC that the Mossos d’Esquadra were investigating him, he stated that he went to the nightclub, but that “nothing happened there” and that he would take action against “that false information.” For her part, the alleged victim has maintained at all times that the relationships were not consensual and that, at first, she did not want to report for fear that no one would believe her and that her identity would be revealed. “I don’t want money, I want justice,” she has repeated on several occasions.
