Dani Alves' ex-wife, Dinora Santana, said she could not believe the allegations against her ex-spouse. The player is suspected of sexual assault.
Dani is not capable of doing something like that. Dani is not capable of disgracing a woman. I've been married to him for 10 years and I've known him for 22 years. Everyone who is around Dani, starting with the person who cleans his house in Brazil, Barcelona... Everyone knows who he is and that he is not capable of such things. The situation is very painful.
Dinora Santana, quoted by Sport.es
Alves is now in custody without the right to bail. According to Spanish justice, the 39-year-old footballer faces a sentence of four to 12 years in prison.
The athlete denies all charges, saying he doesn't know the girl who accused him of sexual assault.
