Brazilian footballer Dani Alves sat in silence and listened to a stream of witnesses give evidence during the second day of his sexual assault trial in Spain on Tuesday.
Alves is accused of sexually assaulting a woman in the bathroom of an upscale Barcelona nightclub on December 31st, 2022. He has denied any wrongdoing.
State prosecutors are seeking a nine-year prison sentence for Alves, if convicted, while the lawyers representing his accuser want 12 years.
His accuser gave evidence on Monday, the start of the three-day trial, behind closed doors on order of the Barcelona court. State prosecutors asked for the court to take extra measures to protect her identity after a video circulated on social media last month that allegedly identified the woman.
