Alves’s version

In his testimony before the Court, alves He asserted that he had previously agreed with the young woman that they would have sex in the bathroom. “Everything that happened and didn’t happen in there only she and I know”launched in the interview.

And followed: “I went in after her. I didn’t even lock the door. The door was open the whole time, she could have left because I was sitting on the toilet lid for most of the time”.

In this sense, it maintained that it tries to seek an explanation for the subsequent conduct of the victim: “It occurs to me that there is someone who gave him bad advice… who felt bad after doing it, who took a step forward and who did not know how to get out of the mess he got into and the one they put me in”.

Later, he told what were the steps he followed once he left the club: “Nobody said anything to me there. I left Sutton calmly. I arrived home. I showered because my wife was already asleep and I was ashamed of infidelity. I soaped myself with anger. I lay in another bed”.

“I returned to Mexico two days later to play and in some media it was published that a young woman accused Dani Alves of sexual assault. I called my lawyer, Miraida Puentes, by phone. She consulted with the Mossos and in the courts and told me He assured that there was no complaint and that he could travel and leave Spain with complete peace of mind. That’s why I left,” he explained.

The request for forgiveness to Joana Sanz, his wife

alves took advantage of the interview to offer a public apology to his wife, the model Joana Sanzwith whom he continues despite the strong rumors of separation: “The only person I have to apologize to is my wife, Joana Sanz. The woman I married eight years ago, with whom I am still married , and with whom I hope to continue living my whole life”.

“I already asked her for forgiveness personally here, in prison, but I must do it publicly, because the story is public, the offense is public and she deserves those public apologies”he emphasized.

And he continued in a conciliatory tone: “They were, are and will be very hard days for her. I thank her for everything she is doing for me. Her role is not easy. I love her and during this time in prison I thought a lot about our marriage. I am sure that I was not wrong when choose Joana as my wife. Although perhaps she was wrong about me”.

On the other hand, Alves explained the reason for the lies, since he offered three different versions in a matter of hours and another one before the video from the security cameras was released. At first he had assured that he had never seen the woman and in the images it was appreciated how she passed by her.

“If someone has ever truly loved, if they have known true love like me, they will know that to keep that love, one does anything. And I lied. I was afraid of losing Joana and that’s why I lied. I fought to desperate to save my marriage from infidelity, regardless of the consequences I’m paying,” he said.

Finally, he tried to explain what led him to change his story: “As soon as I was able to tell my wife what had really happened that night and I asked her for forgiveness, I wanted to testify again and tell the truth. I am clear that everything This that I am living is a nightmare. I hope that one day it will end.”

When I heard it, I cried,” Alves began. And he added: “I would have loved to pick up a phone to call him and tell him: ‘Thank you, thank you, but don’t ever do it again. Don’t say anything. Please forget about me, I take care of myself, calm down'”.
