Dani Alves presented himself for detainment in Catalonia's Les Corts police station on Friday regarding allegations that he sexually assaulted a woman at a nightclub in Barcelona toward the end of 2022. The Brazil international is now to be questioned by a judge, according to a spokesperson for the regional Catalan police force Mossos d'Esquadra.
According to police, the Catalan authorities received a complaint regarding Alves on Jan. 2 from a woman who claimed that he had behaved inappropriately and touched her at popular Barcelona nightclub Sutton overnight from Dec. 30-31.
Alves had been training at Barcelona's facilities in the build-up to the 2022 FIFA World Cup and was on holiday post-World Cup in Qatar. He has denied all wrongdoing and claimed that he has "never seen" his accuser before.
Model Joana Sanz has publicly stated her support for her partner Alves as he made his statement against the allegations while a Spanish judge has reportedly ordered Alves to be jailed on remand.
