“The risk of flight is higher,” says the victim’s lawyer.
Before this decision was announced, at the end of the Barcelona Court, the victim’s lawyer gave some statements that generated some concern among those people who long for justice to be served in this unfortunate case of rape, since The lawyer, Ester García, considers that, if Dani Alves’ conditional release was approved, the risk of escape would be much greater:
“For my part, I consider that the risk of escape is higher because at the time the court, through an order dated December 5, 2023, stated that he should remain in preventive detention given that he did not have roots in Spain, in his capacity economic and the risk of flight. For me, this risk of escape, three months after this order, is higher because some proven facts have also been given, that it is a crime of rape, it is a serious crime and therefore it is condemned. Beyond that it has obviously been appealed, but it is condemned and for me the risk of escape, as of today, is higher.”
In principle, Dani Alves would have flatly denied the possibility of fleeing the country, making it clear that he would collaborate with justice during this process.
