Dani Alves was during the trial.
On the other hand, the plaintiff’s attorney Ester Garcia in the case pointed out that her client was frustrated by the resolution.
“In terms of law, we have to appeal the ruling. It has to be taken into account the emotional state of the client and is psychologically destroyed. It has been two years of hell for her,” she told the Catalan Daily.

“[She is] Very disappointed, sad, and somehow felt like she was back in the bathroom where the incident happened. ”
There have been many high-profile cases in the Spanish football case in recent years, with forward Santi Mina and right-back Hugo Mallo being convicted.
“[It is] Both in law and in society, there are setbacks in the struggle against sexual violence. [It could] Stop women from reporting sexual assault. ”
“It is not a 21st century debate to question whether a woman dances in a nightclub before being sexually assaulted.”
Alves’ original verdict was also confiscated his passport, and the victim caused €150,000 in damages. He has lived in Barcelona since March 2024 after he appealed his conviction.
