Entering prison, undoubtedly, must be one of the most difficult situations in anyone's life, regardless of whether they are a famous person. In that sense, Dani Alves was no exception, because his first night in jail was a tough blow for the Brazilian and according to Spanish press reports, he didn't even want to eat.
The Brazilian arrived in Spain last week from Mexico, where he was playing, to attend his mother-in-law's funeral, with the intention of rejoining Pumas de la UNAM's training as soon as possible, but it couldn't be that way, since the Mossos d'Esquadra detained him for an alleged sexual assault on a woman in a Barcelona nightclub on the night of December 30-31 last year, and a judge from the Barcelona Court of Instruction No. 15 decided to remand him in custody without bail.
The Brazilian player arrived on Friday night at the Inmate Reception Department of Brians 1 Penitentiary Center, but his appearance and attitude were very different from what was seen in training sessions or football matches. This time he was seen distressed and emotionally affected.
He did nothing extraordinary, nor did he receive a different treatment from the other three men who also entered the same prison on Friday night,” Vanguardia revealed. While ABC explained that sources from the penitentiary told them that Alves arrived "emotionally shattered. Affected and unwilling to interact with anyone".

"It's hard to comment on a situation like this. Like everyone else, I am surprised, shocked, in a state of shock. Knowing how Dani is, this issue has surprised me. I feel very bad for him. It's a matter of justice and justice will decide what happens, we can't get involved in that," added the Barcelona coach at the press conference prior to the match against Getafe.
