The Superior Court of Justice of Brazil ordered this Wednesday that former soccer player Robson de Souza “Robinho” serve in a Brazilian prison the nine-year sentence imposed on him in Italy for a rape.
The court approved the sentence imposed in Italy in 2017 by majority, with nine votes in favor and two against, and by an even tighter majority ordered that the sentence be carried out in a closed regime immediately.
In this way, Robinho will have to go to prison before even being able to present appeals to this same court and the Supreme Court.
The court hearing ended with the suspense of an extension, since although the majority of the magistrates spoke widely in favor of carrying out the sentence in Brazil.
Robinho, 40, was sentenced to nine years in prison by the Italian Justice for his participation in a gang rape in Milan in 2013, but he never served the sentence because he returned to Brazil, a country that prohibits the extradition of their nationals.
The Italian authorities asked the Brazilian Justice to approve the sentence and, consequently, determine the imprisonment of the former soccer player so that he could serve the sentence in his country of origin.
The former striker, who emerged as a professional in Pelé’s Santos and played for Real Madrid and also played for Manchester City, was found guilty of participating in a gang rape of a young Albanian woman in a Milan nightclub, during his time as a player. of AC Milan.
