Dani Alves ‘signing autographs from jail’ after ‘horror nightclub rape’ – as he shares cell with prisoner named Coutinho
BRAZIL star Dani Alves has been signing autographs for fellow inmates in prison, it is reported.
The former Barcelona and Brazil defender was detained by cops and remanded in custody after allegedly sexually assaulting a woman in a Spanish nightclub.
1The incident is said to have taken place on December 30 last year in Barcelona.
The alleged victim claimed the right-back slapped her and raped her in the toilets of the Spanish city's swanky Sutton nightclub - a bar frequented by the rich and famous.
According to Spanish outlet Telecino, Alves, who was denied bail by a judge, has been signing autographs in prison.
A former inmate reportedly showed off a shirt signed by the 126-time Brazil international after leaving jail.

The inmate didn't share a cell with the 39-year-old footballer - but reportedly got his shirt signed through another prisoner.
He also revealed how Alves has been accepted in prison and no one has called him a "rapist".
According to El Periodico, Alves is sharing a cell with another prisoner named Coutinho - but not his Brazilian teammate.
Spanish cops detained Alves and took him to a police station in the neighbourhood after the alleged victim filed a formal complaint against him earlier this month.

Alves was taken into custody on January 20.
The footballer admitted he had been at Sutton on December 30, when the alleged sex crime occurred.
Alves initially denied any contact with the woman, according to reports in Spain.
In a Spanish TV interview, Alves said: “I don’t know who this lady is.
"I don’t know her name, I don’t know her, I’ve never seen her in my life."
In a court hearing last Friday, the footballer reportedly told the magistrate he had consensual sex with the woman.
His changing version of events was key to the decision to remand him in custody, El Mundo reports.
It came after CCTV footage published by Spanish media was said to show him and the alleged victim in a VIP area and then going to the toilet for 47 seconds.
New details from her behind-closed-doors evidence to the investigating judge were published in Spain.
She said after the alleged attack she was too scared to leave the toilet for several minutes.
When she finally opened the door the footballer and his companions had left the venue.
She reportedly burst in tears and was comforted by her friends.
They then told club bouncers she had been raped, and they engaged their protocol for sexual assaults, it is said.
The woman was taken to hospital and later to a police station.
Her dress from that night was being analysed for DNA evidence by the Mossos d'Esquadra police, El Mundo reports.
A spokesman for the police force said: "The victim of an alleged indecent assault at a nightspot in Barcelona on the night of December 30 to 31 has presented a formal complaint.
"She filed that complaint at a police station on Monday.
"A report will now be submitted to an investigating court which will determine what steps should subsequently be taken."
Earlier we told how Alves' arrest came as a double blow to his heartbroken wife Joana Sanz after her mum died days earlier.
