The former player of FC Barcelona and Pumas de la UNAM, Dani Alves, was transferred to the entrance module of the Brians 2 prison, which has less crowded and safer spacesand in the next few hours the prison staff will assign you a cell.
Penitentiary sources reported that the Brazilian soccer player had been in the admission module of the Brians 1 prison in Sant Esteve Sesrovires (Barcelona) since last Friday, when a judge from that city ordered his admission to prison without bail, accused of raping a young woman in a bathroom at the Sutton nightclub in Barcelona the night of December 30.
The Secretary of Criminal Measures of the Department of Justice of the Generalitat has decided this Monday to transfer Dani Alves to Brians 2, where Prisoners already convicted and in pretrial detention live togetherbecause this facility has smaller residential modules that better guarantee their safety and coexistence with the rest of the inmates.
In fact, the modules of Brians 2 house about 80 inmateson average, while in Brians 1 there are usually around 200 prisoners.
Once transferred, the footballer has been placed back in the admission module, where he will be visited by the professionals from the center who must decide which cell they assign him, a matter for which the type of crime committed is not taken into account.
Alves has been subjected throughout the weekend to the usual procedures for admission to prisonhe was frisked and his belongings searched once his identity was verified by prison workers.
Subsequently, he was visited by health professionals and interviewed by members of the treatment team who must decide in which group of inmates the inmate is included.
Meanwhile, the footballer’s defense is working on the procedural strategy to try to get him released on provisional release, so he is considering filing an appeal against his imprisonment, if necessary, offering to testify again before the judge.
These efforts, however, are waiting for Alves to decide whether to change his lawyer, as his environment suggests after the lawyer who represented him, Miraida Puente, was unable last Friday to prevent the judge from ordering prison without bail for the athlete, legal sources have informed EFE.
