It's over. The former Real Madrid star will no longer hide from prison. Severe Sentence Football

Robinho got into serious trouble. In 2013, he participated in a gang rape of an Albanian citizen in a Milan club. First, he supposedly drunk the victim unconscious, and then sexually abused her. The first sentence was passed in 2017 – he was sentenced to 9 years in prison. The former football player appealed to the court of second instance, but lost. In January 2022, the final judgment was passed, from which there is no further appeal. The Milan Prosecutor’s Office also issued an international arrest warrant for Robinho. But the 39-year-old has yet to go to prison. He now lives in Brazil, where the constitution prohibits extradition. However, it seems that there will be a breakthrough in the case soon.

Robinho’s trouble. The Brazilian could go to jail in a few days. Nothing stands in the way

A few days ago, the media reported that the Brazilian Supreme Court of Justice was finalizing the formalities related to placing Robinho in prison. President Maria Thereza de Assis Moura said that the verdict of the Italian courts is in line with the existing treaties between the two countries. In addition, the Court was still analyzing the case, focusing only on the principles of “due due process”, and not on the validity of the allegations against the former footballer.

Now the Globo portal has provided new information about the case. It turns out that the Federal Prosecutor’s Office gave the Court a positive opinion in the case. “It has been found that there is nothing to prevent the arrest of Robinho in Brazil,” we read. On Monday, February 27, the deputy prosecutor general of the republic, Carlos Frederico Santos, listed four addresses where the former footballer is most likely staying. It is possible that Robinho will be arrested in a few days and he will spend the next nine years behind bars in his homeland.

The Brazilian is not the only person from the world of football who has been accused of rape in recent years. Dani Alves is in prison for allegedly sexually assaulting a 23-year-old woman in a club in Barcelona on December 30, 2022. Currently, the Brazilian is awaiting trial. In addition, in recent days there have been accusations against Achraf Hakimi. A 24-year-old woman reported to a police station in France allegedly raped by a PSG player.

In the past, Robinho played for clubs such as Real Madrid, Manchester City and AC Milan. He was most successful with the Spanish team. He won two national titles and one Supercup. He ended his career in 2020 in the colors of Santos, where he started his football adventure.
