Brazilian footballer Dani Alves, who has been in prison for two months on rape charges, has become involved in a new controversy in Spain, revealed Spanish website El Caso. According to newly surfaced reports, the former fullback was found to be involved in a cigarette smuggling operation inside the jail.
According to the Catalan website, Dani Alves is the pivot of a scheme to sell cigarettes inside Brians II prison. One of the inmates has been deemed free to circulate through the wings of the detention centre. The prisoner collects shirts brought in for other inmates and gives them to the Brazilian.
Officials noticed a large quantity of Barcelona shirts entering the jail. The detainee who can circulate in the complex modules collects the jerseys. He returns with the autographed shirts, returns them to the owners, and is rewarded with various products, mainly cigarettes. The shirts enter the facility sent by the families of the inmates.
In order to keep a low profile, Dani Alves tries to maintain a routine inside the prison. He mainly performs physical activities and football games with other inmates. However, this episode involving cigarettes could further complicate the situation of the Brazilian player. Alves has been in prison since 20 January. Spanish Justice could hit him with further charges if they prove that he benefits from the scheme.

What next for Dani Alves?
Alves was arrested after being accused of sexually assaulting a 23-year-old woman on December 30 at the Sutton nightclub in Barcelona. The crime has a sentence of up to 12 years in prison, but it could be more after Alves’ latest shenanigans. Meanwhile, his wife, Joana Sanz, has recently been sharing her emotions regarding the situation on social media.
She posted a video of her crying, saying, “The feeling that you are drowning, that it hurts so much that you no longer want that internal pain, that you need to externalize it as a wound to heal it… But you can’t”. She has also spoken about self-love and acknowledging one’s feelings. Alves’ brother, Ney, has also gotten involved. He posted a message on Instagram, seemingly directed at Joana, calling her “evil” for divorcing Alves.
