The ex-wife of Dani Alves expressed confidence in the innocence of her ex-husband.
Santana’s Statement
Dinorah Santana, the mother of Dani Alves‘ two children and his former wife and agent, is now residing in Brazil. Recently, she expressed her belief in the innocence of her ex-husband, who has been in custody since January 20, accused of allegedly raping a young woman in a nightclub in Barcelona. Santana stated to Sport, “No one who knows Dani and loves him can be okay with the situation he is going through. It’s unbelievable and even in the worst nightmare, one could not imagine something like this. The situation is complicated for her and the children every day that goes by.”
The Struggles of Separation
The children are struggling because they can’t see their father. According to Santana, they are planning a trip to Spain when the hearing date is set and will visit their father if he is released. At the same time, they will visit schools as they are planning to move to Barcelona.
Finding Out About the Accusations
It was through a journalist that Dinorah found out about the accusations against Dani Alves. She received a call asking if she wanted to talk about what had happened the previous night at the nightclub in Barcelona. She then tried to call Alves but he didn’t pick up because he was taking a nap. People close to him later called her to assure her that everything was fine and that Alves was okay.
Public Trial and Condemnation
Santana expressed her distress about the parallel and public trial being held for Dani Alves. She stated, “They are condemning Dani beforehand, without him having been tried. He would be incapable of dishonoring a woman. I was married to him for 10 years and I have known him for 22 years. He has always believed that a woman should be treated like a queen.”
Dani Alves’ Character and Treatment of Women
Santana added that Dani Alves has never treated women badly in the 20 years that she has known him. He has always spoken to her with a gentle tone and treated her, her daughter, and his children with respect and kindness. She believes that his father instilled in him the belief that a woman should be treated like royalty, a characteristic that Alves applies to all people in his life.
