Sentenced in January 2022 to 9 years in prison by Italian justice following a gang rape committed on a 23-year-old woman in a Milanese nightclub, Robinho will have to serve his sentence in Brazil. As the Brazilian constitution prevents the extradition of its nationals, the former player took refuge in Brazil where he enjoyed his freedom, while remaining discreet, on the side of Santos, where he grew up.
But Italian justice had asked the Brazilian authorities that the former Real Madrid player carry out his sentence in his native country. The STJ (Supreme Court of Justice) has just ruled and decided, by 9 votes to 2, that the former star of the Seleçao (28 goals in 100 matches), would have to serve his sentence “immediately and in a closed regime”. “Denying the request of Italian justice could have had serious consequences in diplomatic relations between our two countries,” justified Francisco Falcao, one of the ministers of the STJ.
