A court in Barcelona has officially brought charges against Brazilian professional footballer Dani Alves over allegations of sexual aggression against a young woman. The regional court announced this after the almost ten-month investigation had been completed, as the newspaper “La Vanguardia” reported. A spokesman for the regional court in Barcelona confirmed this information upon request. There is no date for the trial yet. Alves faces a prison sentence of up to twelve years in Spain. The former FC Barcelona professional has been in custody in the Catalan metropolis since January. The former wife and manager of the 126-time international player and their two children live in Barcelona. A 23-year-old reported Alves. She accuses the Brazilian from Bahia of forcing her to have sex in a nightclub in Barcelona on December 30th. On January 20th, Alves was arrested while visiting Catalonia. He initially denied any sexual contact with the woman. His lawyer later stated that the sexual acts had taken place with the woman’s consent. Until his arrest, Alves had played for the Mexican club UNAM Pumas.
