Dani Alves’ best friend defends him in s***al assault case, explains the night’s incident hinting that he is innocent

Dani Alves will once again testify before a judge, at the request of the football player’s lawyer on Monday. He is currently in pre-trial detention for the alleged sexual assault of a woman in the bathrooms of Sutton nightclub in Barcelona at the end of 2022. His best friend Bruno Brasil put forward some arguments in defence of his friend, including one which may act as a trigger for those who have been the victims of sexual assault.

He jumped to the defence of his friend, protesting his innocence, while at the same time attempting to discredit the alleged victim’s complaint. “Dani talked to everyone, like me. But more with her. She went up to him from time to time, dancing and brushing up against him, drawing his attention”, he stated.

“In addition, I remember that at a certain moment of the night, Dani separated from her to talk to the other friends and it was this same young woman who came back to him,” remarked Alves’ friend, wanting to make clear the insistence of the woman to be close to him. “They went in and out separately and about 15 minutes passed. We talked all normally, and nothing weird was said. When leaving the bathroom, she gave me a high five and her cousin gave me a kiss on the cheek.”

Dani Alves has requested, via his defence lawyer, to give a new statement about the alleged incident, in which he will most likely declare that the sexual relations which took place were consensual. He will try to prove this theory using footage from CCTV cameras at Sutton.

Bruno Brasil is a Brazilian chef, who has become Dani Alves’s best friend and his greatest support after finding himself in this delicate situation in which he is accused of allegedly having sexually abused a woman in Barcelona. He is the only person who visits him in prison apart from Joana Sanz that has made an unconditional friend.

Bruno Brasil has played a prominent role throughout the case, as he has been the main link between Alves and his now ex-wife Joana Sanz. Brasil, a chef and nutritionist, is the only person who has visited his friend in prison and also picked Sanz up from the airport on one of her last trips to see her ex-husband. As well as Sanz, Brasil has also been in contact with the plaintiff’s cousin, writing the following message to her on Instagram: “Let’s be buddies. My house is in…I’m not always here, but I’m available here for whatever you need”.

The former Barcelona footballer, who has been detained for almost three months in Brians 2, will appear next Monday before the judge in charge at “his own request”. Faced with this scenario, it will be necessary to see what will be the objective of Alves and his defence of him in his new testimony.
