Dani Alves testifies in court and claims that the complainant had a sexual interest
Provincial Court of Barcelona Starting this Monday, February 5, the trial of Dani Alves, accused of the crime of sexual assault with carnal access, will take place here. Apparently, this was the last session, and the former La Liga player was the last to take the stand.
In his statement of what happened a few hours before his arrival at the Sutton nightclub in Barcelona, where the events allegedly took place, Alves detailed before the court that he and his friends, “whom he had not seen for a long time,” went to a restaurant in Eixample, where “we drank five bottles of wine and a bottle of whiskey. That’s what’s on the restaurant ticket. More or less, I drank a bottle and a half of wine and several glasses of whiskey. After leaving the restaurant we went to Nuba and had a drink gin and tonics. To get there we went by car. Bruno (Brazil, his friend) was driving because I drank a lot and couldn’t drive“.

About your approach to the applicant
“When we got to the stand, we danced for a while. First two girls came and danced for a while. Then they invited the other three girls. I didn’t notice that they were uncomfortable with us“, – the accused expressed words with which he contradicted the testimony of the applicant’s cousin and friend, who from the very beginning stated that he was “uncomfortable”.
Regarding his approach to the alleged victim, Alves explained that “the complainant and I started dancing closer to each other, we were having a good time, we were enjoying each other. We started rubbing our parts. She started touching my body parts. When it was my turn, I thought it was sexual tension and talked to her about going to the toilet. I didn’t have to insist.”
“The complainant started touching my body parts.”

He further added, “I thought he wouldn’t come, but he eventually went to the bathroom. We started kissing. He started to take off my pants, I helped him. I sat on the toilet seat and he knelt down to give me a blowjob. “I sat the whole time and stood up only to cum from her sex after a blowjob that lasted almost the entire time we were in the bathroom.”
“Then I left because I didn’t want them to see us leaving the bathroom together. She didn’t tell me she wanted to leave. I didn’t stop her from leaving. I didn’t slap her or grab her hair. I’m not that kind of person, I’m not cruel. I also didn’t want to perform oral sex on him. She didn’t tell me anything, we both liked it, nothing more. “He didn’t tell me he didn’t want to do it,” the defendant said, ending his statement in tears.
