Lawyer claims former Barcelona defender Dani Alves 'has a negative bank balance of £17,000' despite once having a £47m fortune - as the 40-year-old's sex assault trial begins in Spain

The 40-year-old has spent the last year in prison awaiting the trial, but could face a sentence of up to 12 years if found guilty. He could also be ordered to pay damages of £128,000 (€150,000) to his accuser.
