Spanish court rejects Brazil footballer's Dani Alves appeal release

Press reports revealed that the Barcelona court rejected the appeal submitted by veteran Brazilian star Dani Alves, who was imprisoned on charges of raping a girl in a nightclub in Barcelona, last December. Press reports revealed that a Spanish court rejected a request by Brazilian soccer player Dani Alves to be released from jail on remand as the investigation over an alleged sexual assault in a Barcelona nightclub continues last December. The Spanish court denied Dani Alves’ appeal on Tuesday to be freed on bail while the investigation of a sexual assault accusation against the Brazilian soccer player continues.
The 39-year-old, who has denied any wrongdoing, was jailed on remand without bail on Jan. 20 after a local woman filed a complaint last month about an event at the exclusive Sutton nightclub in the city center. Police are investigating and the case remains open over a crime of sexual assault.
