Dani Alves shares prison cell with Coutinho

Dani Alves, a former defender for Barcelona and Sevilla, is still making headlines in Spain as a constant stream of information reaches the media.

The right back has been detained without bond pending the outcome of his trial after being charged with sexual assault in connection with an incident that happened on December 30.

Alves has received support from several members of his family, including his brother Ney, who called everything a conspiracy.

The media has also been supplied frequent updates about the situation. According to the victim's attorney, who was mentioned by Marca, the woman in issue is undergoing anti-trauma therapy and has also been given a prescription for sleeping drugs.

Alves was transferred to a separate, smaller prison in the vicinity of Barcelona during this time due to concerns for his safety and well-being. El Periodico claims that there is genuine concern about his mental state, and as a result, he is being closely watched.

Additionally, according to their knowledge, Alves is incarcerated with another Brazilian named Coutinho, who is interestingly named after his old Barcelona teammate.

The trial's start date has not yet been determined. Sandro Rosell, the former president of Barcelona, was an example of how preventative detention may endure for years; he was incarcerated for two and a half years while his case was pending.
