Reports from a major national outlet indicate that Daniel Alves faced an investigation over a reported incident of sexual assault that allegedly took place at dawn on a Friday, December 30, at a Barcelona nightclub. A female patron reportedly alerted security staff in the venue, prompting a response from the club team as events unfolded near closing hours of the establishment.
According to testimony referenced by the source, the woman indicated that Alves would have touched himself in a manner that raised concerns among attendees and staff. Security personnel activated the venue’s protocol for addressing sexual harassment and assault in private nightlife spaces, prompting immediate actions and further safeguarding procedures in line with local guidelines.
The group surrounding Alves rejected the claims, stating that he left the disco after a brief stay and that no incident occurred. This denial was conveyed as part of a broader response from Alves’s circle, emphasizing that the reported events did not involve the footballer beyond a short visit to the venue.
Following receipt of the report, Catalan police initiated a formal inquiry to determine the veracity of the allegations. In the course of the investigation, the victim underwent a medical evaluation at a hospital in Barcelona. Although the formal complaint had not yet been filed at the time of initial reporting, law enforcement authorities had already collected statements from witnesses and relevant parties to establish a factual timeline and assess the nature of the claims.
