Barcelona (EFE)
The ex-soccer player’s defense argues before the Barcelona Court that the videos from the nightclub “radically deny” the victim’s version, because they do not show her in a climate of “terror, dread or domination”, and argues that her story can be a “narrative distortion”.
In the appeal, to which EFE has had access, Alves offers to hand over his Brazilian and Spanish passports, wear a telematic bracelet, pay the necessary bail and appear, even daily, in court.
The appeal, written by the lawyer Cristóbal Martell, argues that there is no risk of escape on which the judge relied to send him to prison without bail on January 20, given that Alves voluntarily went to testify before the Mossos and no longer has of the “economic muscle of periodic income” that the instructor attributed to him.
In this sense, he remembers that he has been fired from the Mexican Pumas in which he played and that, as a result of his accusation of rape, several sponsorship, advertising and image contracts that he had signed with different brands have been terminated.
