Dani Alves requests release is willing to wear an electronic tag to prevent his escape

Dani Alves was arrested on January 20, 2023, and has since been in pre-trial detention without bail, accused of an alleged sexual assault committed at the Sutton nightclub in Barcelona on December 30.

The judge investigating the case deemed Alves a flight risk and that his assets allowed him to live anywhere in the world, which is why she ordered the ex-footballer to be remanded in custody without bail.

Alves' defense team has requested his release from prison, citing his family and business roots in Barcelona.

The newspaper La Vanguardia reports that Alves' defense attorneys have filed an appeal before the Barcelona Court of Appeals requesting his release from prison, citing his family, social, personal, and business roots in the city.

Journalist Mayka Navarro stated that lawyer Cristobal Martell has presented a 24-page document in which he does not evaluate evidence and focuses on guaranteeing that the former Barcelona and Sevilla player will not abscond and will remain in Spain until the trial is held.

The measures that the court could impose on Alves if he is released from jail

El Periodico reports that the Barcelona court could impose a series of measures on Alves such as bail, passport withdrawal, appearing in court on specific dates or putting a telematic bracelet on him.

J.C. Albalat and Guillem Sanchez already published that Alves is willing to wear a telematic bracelet to prevent his escape.
