Graphic account of how Brazil’s World Cup player raped his victim has emerged even as the alleged victim wants justice and not financial compensation.

The victim of the alleged rape committed claimed that the act was committed in a well-known nightclub in Barcelona on December 30, 2022.

 According to the Spanish newspaper El País , which cites sources of the investigation, the young woman’s objective would be for justice to be done and for the footballer to pay with jail for what, according to his version, happened that night.

The complainant, as reported by El Periódico on Friday , the newspaper that revealed her statement  before the judge, explained to the Catalan police that the Brazilian player locked her in a bathroom in the VIP area and raped her.

Biological samples have been collected in the sink where the events allegedly occurred and the local security cameras  have been viewed.

According to information from El Periódico , both Alves and the woman were in that bathroom for about a quarter of an hour. This would emerge from the recordings of the nightclub’s security cameras, which are being analyzed in the police investigation

Alves forced her to sit on top of him, threw her to the ground, forced her to give him a fellatio which she actively resisted, slapped her, lifted her off the ground and penetrated her until ejaculating

The judge investigating the case would have reminded the complainant that she has the right , in the event of a conviction, to be financially compensated for the injuries and moral damages suffered. 

However, the young woman explicitly renounced exercising that right.

Meanwhile, Dani Alves has already spent his second night in the  Brians 1 prison in the town of Sant Esteve Sesrovires.

Last Friday, the judge investigating the case accepted the request of the Prosecutor’s Office and the private prosecution exercised by the complainant and sent the Brazilian soccer player to jail. 

Since the magistrate considers that Alves presents a high risk of flight due to his economic capacities due to his residence outside of Spain, in Mexico, she ordered provisional detention without bail.

Inter Miami will be the last club Argentina captain Lionel Messi plays for, the 36-year-old forward said on Wednesday, adding he feels “a little bit scared” at the thought of the day he decides to retire.

“Inter Miami will be my last club. I love playing football. I enjoy everything even more because I am aware that there is less and less left,” Messi told ESPN.

“I’m not ready to leave football. I’ve done this all my life, I love playing football, I enjoy training, the day-to-day, the matches… And yes, there’s always a little bit of fear that it’s all over.”
