According to the decision, she was afraid to report it and had no intention of making money from the crime. Her lawyer even said that she preferred lower compensation and a higher sentence than the four and a half years to which Daniel Alves was sentenced.
While he resorts to and continues to cling to the fifth version he gave of the case — that he was too drunk —, the former football idol was granted provisional freedom.
He left jail with his head held high. With firm steps and chewing what appears to be gum, he exuded all the disdain he feels for the victim and, by extension, for all women.
Daniel Alves’s pride spoke louder than the protests around him, upon leaving prison. We remain deaf and dumb before his haughty and arrogant look, his well-aligned clothes, his impassive face that says: I don’t care.
On Thursday, he had to return to court to present himself, a demand from Justice to prevent him from fleeing. And he repeated the scene from the beginning of the week — upright posture, calm face, a slight smile in his eyes, and the symbolic support of a woman.
A woman, his lawyer, who is paid to say that she believes in his innocence and to walk beside him while they hear boos and shouts of “rapist”.
