Dani Alves' trial date revealed amid sexual assaults charges as Brazilian footballer faces 8 to 10 years in jail

The investigation into Dani Alves' alleged case of rape has reportedly reached its conclusion and the former Barcelona defender now has a trial date.

Dani Alves could finally know his fate regarding the allegations for which he is accused.

The 40-year-old Brazilian footballer is accused of raping a 23-year-old lady at a Suton nightclub in Barcelona on the night of December 30.

Alves has been incarcerated in temporary detention since January 20 when he was arrested, and has seen all his appeals for bail thrown out the window by the presiding judge of the Barcelona court.

Dani Alves has also seen his marriage to Joana Sanz crash, after the 29-year-old model already declared her intention to divorce the former Pumas and Barcelona defender.

Dani Alves trail date revealed amid sexual assault charges

The date for Alves trial has finally come to light as the 40-year-old could soon know his fate having been imprisoned for over a 100 days.

According to El Periódico, a trial date has been fixed for Dani Alves whose reputation has already taken a hit.

The victim of the footballer no longer has to actively defend herself when sexually assaulted, according to the Penal code.

According to sources consulted by the Catalan media, Dani Alves’ trial is expected to take place between October and November this year.

The Brazilian player has been in custody for almost five months for observing the court risk of flight since he is a native of a country with which Spain does not have an extradition agreement.

The Prosecutors office has always been opposed to his release as they also believe the footballer has an advantage due to his economic muscle that would favour his escape.

Should Alves be found guilty, the former PSG and Juventus defender could face between eight to 10 years in prison.
