FC Barcelona legend Dani Alves continues to languish in prison after having been denied a request for bail for the third time. The Brazilian footballer was arrested on January 20 earlier this year after having been accused of sexual assault by a woman he met at the Sutton nightclub in Barcelona in December 2022.
Alves had been under contract with Liga MX side Pumas UNAM at the time, and had returned to Barcelona to attend the funeral of his wife's mother in Barcelona. However, courts found that there was enough evidence to pursue the case against the footballer, and he has been detained at the Brians 2 prison in Barcelona since his arrest.
