Another inmate’s relative, Valeria, told the channel: “He is really well there. He has new friends.

“Yesterday his wife went to visit him in the afternoon, apparently she hadn’t requested the visit but she managed to speak with him because she left prison really late.

“The privileges they are giving him are superior to what he deserves”.

The Brazilian international Alves was accused of sexual assault in a nightclub in Barcelona on December 30.

He is being held at the Brians 2 Prison in Catalonia, Spain, where he has reportedly made his prison football debut.

Alves is also allegedly allowed to have lunch in private areas as well as have access to daily family visits due to his profile.

Valeria added: “I can only see my family member once every 15 days. Dani Alves has had lots of visits, I think one visit everyday.

“My husband is not Dani Alves, so he has no privilege.

“Usually, prisoners have to ask for a doctor’s appointment and wait until the next day, however, Dani Alves doesn’t have to wait.

“All prisoners are saying that he has a lot of privileges in prison”.

Another prisoner’s relative, who was not named, added: “He sometimes goes to the canteen, but he doesn’t have lunch.

“He gets what he wants by signing an autograph.

“He goes to the garden always with a prison officer, he’s never alone.

“Dani plays football and has made a lot of friends, my husband has a more strict timetable than him”.

Reports from Spain’s national daily sport newspaper, Marca, state that the football ace can go outside alone and is accompanied to the courtyard by four officials who keep him separated from other inmates.

One person who visited another inmate at the prison said: “From what heard when I came to visit, Dani Alves is accompanied to the courtyard by four officials who have him escorted and who keep him apart, alone”

“I don’t know if he communicates with the other prisoners, but for the moment what I know is that he is apart because it is an exclusive case, as he is a well-known sportsman”.

The former Barcelona and Sevilla player has been able to see his wife Joana Sanz, following her visit to the prison.

This comes after we reported how Joana has vowed to stick by the Brazil star just days after she had demanded a divorce following the rape allegations.

Reports in Spain claimed that Alves had initially refused to see Joana in jail, but she has rubbished some of the claims and stayed silent on the divorce issue.
