MADRID (Reuters) – A Spanish judge rejected Brazilian soccer player Dani Alves request to be released and ordered him to remain in jail on remand as the investigation over an alleged sexual assault in a Barcelona night club continues, the regional court said on Tuesday.
The 39-year-old, who has denied any wrongdoing, was jailed on remand without bail on Jan. 20 after local police detained him and questioned him.
