Brazilian football player Dani Alves was arrested on Friday after being accused of sexually abusing a woman in Spain.
The Brazilian went to testify at a police station in the neighborhood of Les Corts near Barca’s Camp Nou stadium on Friday morning.
Shortly after 10AM, he was captured in a police car after being arrested for alleged sexual abuse as reported by outlets such as COPE.
Sources have explained to Europa Press that the Mossos d’Esquadra Catalan Police took the 39-year-old to the Ciutat de la Justicia in Barcelona where he will be brought before a judge.
The judge will then decide if Alves is to be kept in custody or released on bail while his case is being investigated.
The alleged act took place on Dec. 31 at a night club in Barcelona, police told The Associated Press.
The charge of sexual abuse in Spain can mean anything from unsolicited and unwanted sexually groping to rape. Police said they could give no detail on the case.
