Last December 30th, it celebrated its first anniversary alleged violation Daniel Alves To a woman in the toilets of Sutton nightclub in Barcelona. On the same day, the actor’s mother, Lucia Alves, published a video on social networks in which the victim was seen dancing, being with friends, celebrating his birthday and even talking to his cousin in an old recording.
The video appeared on a Brazilian website alongside Lucia Alves’ profile and was also published in that country’s media. Alves’ circle points out that images that his lawyers have had since last August but were not presented to the court were used. However, this is a video edited with Portuguese music and commentary claiming the actor’s innocence.
Video footage was taken from the victim’s social networks and those around him.. They review the woman’s leisure activities and attempt to criminalize her personal life, a desperate tactic by Alves’ family a month before the start of the trial at the Barcelona Court. Additionally, some of the images taken are from years ago, when the victim was a minor. El Periódico de Catalunya of the Prensa Ibérica Group had access to the images, but in accordance with the court order and out of respect for the status of the victim, the newspaper will not reproduce them.
What is clear is that The dissemination of these images is contrary to the decision of the 15th Instructional Court of Barcelona. This made it clear to the parties that no data that could reveal the woman’s identity should be leaked. The videos are against this judicial decision and the situation of the victim.
Alves has been held in temporary prison since last January 20 on the following charges: sexual assault to a young woman, The young man, who was 23 at the time, was in the bathroom of the VIP area of Sutton nightclub in Barcelona. The victim explained that in addition to raping her, Alves also hit her. The Brazilian changed his version three times before the judge, starting with the fact that he did not know the girl and concluding, based on the evidence against him, that there was a consensual relationship between them.
This is the last version defended by Alves, and it is not excluded that this is the last version in his defensive strategy. The trial will be held at the Barcelona Courthouse at the beginning of next February. Not only the victim, but also her mother, who are both presented as witnesses, will be heard here.
What will not be there will be Alves’ mother, who has already made it clear with this video that she defends her son’s innocence despite violating the victim’s privacy. “Those who trust in God will never lose the war,” he explains in the published footage.
