Dani Alves is transferred to Brians 2 (Barcelona) to "better guarantee safety and coexistence"

The Secretary of Criminal Measures, Reintegration and Attention to the Victim of the Generalitat has agreed to transfer the footballer Dani Alves to the Brians 2 prison, in Sant Esteve Sesrovires (Barcelona), to "better guarantee security and coexistence", they have explained to Europa Press penitentiary sources.

Alves has been in provisional prison since Friday for allegedly sexually assaulting a woman in a Barcelona nightclub on December 30, and over the weekend he has been in the Brians 1 admission module, also in Sant Esteve Sesrovires, a prison for remand prisoners.

Brians 2, where Alves was transferred this Monday morning, is a jail for convicts but there are also some preventive prisoners, like the player.

The change has been decided because Brians 2 "has smaller residential modules, which makes it possible to better guarantee security and coexistence": in this prison there are an average of 80 inmates per module, while in Brians 1 there are about 200 in each one.

The aforementioned sources have remarked that the crime for which he is being investigated "has not been a factor to take into account" to agree on the transfer.

Once he has arrived at Brians 2, Alves will undergo a personal and belongings search and will be visited by the center's workers, such as the doctor, the psychologist and the educator.

During this procedure, which can last up to five days, you will be in the admission module and then the professionals at the center will decide which module they assign you to.
