The former defender of Barcelona and the Brazilian national team, Dani Alves will go to court in Spain to answer the charges of sexual harassment against a woman in the Barcelona club last December
Alves, aged 40, was arrested on January 20 and jailed outside Barcelona. If found guilty, he could be sentenced to four to 15 years in prison
The former Brazilian international player, who also played for Sevilla, Juventus and PSG, has denied making the mistake
In a document signed by three judges, the investigative court number 15 in Barcelona, said there are sufficient reasons for Alves to face the charges, following requests from the public prosecutor and the woman
Under the consent law on gender issues in Spain, which was passed last year, sexual violence takes a big place because it is a crime that is not accepted in society
Alves said before after his arrest: "It will be proven that I am innocent and it was a consensual relationship. It does not enter my mind that I forced the marriage act"
