Leila Pereira on Daniel Alves and Robinho: “Slap all of us women in the face”

Leila Pereirapresident of Palmeiras and head of delegation of the Brazilian men’s football team, spoke out this Thursday, 21st, about the trials of former players Daniel Alves It is Robinho. She is in London to accompany Brazil’s players on this FIFA date against England, on Saturday, 23rd, and next Tuesday, 26th, against Spain.

When asked about the developments in the cases of the two former athletes, Leila adopted a blunt speech. “Nobody says anything, but I, as a woman here at the head of the delegation, have to take a position on the cases of Robinho and Daniel Alves. This is a slap in the face to all of us women, especially the case of Daniel Alves, who paid for his freedom. I think it’s important for me to take a stand. Each case of impunity is the seed of the next crime”she told UOL.

Leila’s statement came after the Barcelona court accepted the former defender’s defense request for him to be provisionally released while the appeals are judged. For this to happen, Daniel, who last month was sentenced to four and a half years in prison for rape, will have to pay bail of 1 million euros, around R$5.45 million. He also needs to hand over his Brazilian and Spanish passports, stay 1km away and incommunicado with the victim, and appear in court weekly.

Robinho, who was sentenced by the Italian courts to nine years in prison for a rape crime that occurred in 2013, must serve his sentence in Brazil following the decision of the Superior Court of Justice (STJ). As Brazil does not extradite its citizens, Italy asked him to serve his sentence in Brazilian territory.
