Footballer Accused of Rape Declares Hunger Strike

The Brazilian footballer Dani Alves, who is accused of rape, has declared a hunger strike. This was reported by Cuatro al dia.

According to the source, the 39-year-old athlete is reacting to the divorce from his wife, Joana Sanz, in this manner. It is noted that the player is very upset by this decision and has been completely exhausted.

Earlier, it was reported that Sanz filed for divorce after Alves was taken into custody. It has been clarified that she does not doubt the credibility of the victim's testimony and made a conscious decision.

On February 10, Alves confessed to having had sexual intercourse with the alleged victim. The 39-year-old athlete, who was arrested on January 20, claims that the consent was mutual and that there was no act of violence on his part. Meanwhile, doctors have confirmed that the girl has injuries indicative of resistance.
