Dani Alves has now been arrested in Catalunya. He arrived at the Mossos d’Esquadra de Les Corts police station this morning (20 January) to testify against these allegations.
The former Blaugrana defender will now have to attend another court hearing at the Ciutat de la Justicia in Barcelona, where a judge will rule on his provisional situation as the case continues to be investigated.
Catalonia’s Supreme Court confirmed that it has opened proceedings ‘for an alleged crime of sexual assault as a result of the complaint filed by a woman for events that allegedly occurred in a nightclub in Barcelona last month’ (via The Mirror).

Dani Alves had a stellar and decorated career at Camp Nou. The Brazilian right-back won the UEFA Champions League three times with the Blaugrana. He also won six La Liga titles during his time in Catalonia, amongst other trophies.
The defender has registered 408 appearances across competitions for the Spanish giants, scoring 22 goals and providing 105 assists.
