Former Barça player Dani Alves has been transferred to the Brians 2 prison admission module, which has less crowded and safer spaces, and in the next few hours prison staff will assign him a cell.
According to prison sources, the Brazilian soccer player had been in the admission module of the Brians 1 prison in Sant Esteve Sesrovires (Barcelona) since last Friday, when a Barcelona judge ordered his admission to prison without bail, accused of raping a young man in a bathroom at the Sutton nightclub in Barcelona on the night of December 30.
The Secretary of Criminal Measures of the Department of Justice of the Generalitat has decided today to transfer him to Brians 2, where both sentenced and preventive prisoners live, because this facility has smaller residential modules that better guarantee their safety and coexistence with the rest of the internal.
In fact, the Brians 2 modules house some 80 inmates, on average, while those of Brians 1 usually house some 200 inmates.
