A Spanish judge ordered Brazil soccer player Dani Alves be jailed on remand without bail over an alleged sexual assault of a woman in a Barcelona nightclub, the regional court system said on Friday.
"The club reiterates its commitment to not tolerate acts by any member, whoever they may be, that go against the club's spirit and its values," Pumas sporting president Leopoldo Silva said.
The alleged victim had filed a complaint earlier this month and the case remains open over a crime of sexual assault, Catalonia's court system said in a statement. "I was dancing and having a good time without invading anyone's space," he said."I don't know who this lady is... How could I do that to a woman? No."
