Gang rape: ex-football star Robinho goes to prison

Former football star Robinho is serving a nine-year prison sentence in Italy for gang rape in his home country Brazil. A court in Brasilia decided this on Wednesday and ruled that the punishment must begin “immediately”. The 40-year-old’s lawyer announced an appeal to avoid jail time.

The former Brazilian national footballer was found guilty by the Italian judiciary in 2017 of raping a woman who was celebrating her 23rd birthday at a Milan nightclub with five other men in January 2013.

Robinho denied the crime

Robinho played for AC Milan at the time. The Italian Supreme Court upheld the verdict in January 2022. Robinho denied the allegations and returned to his home country after the incident.

Italy has issued an international arrest warrant for Robinho. However, Brazil does not extradite its nationals. Italy demanded that the 40-year-old serve his sentence in his home country instead.

In addition to AC Milan, Robinho also played for top clubs Real Madrid and Manchester City. He scored 28 goals in his 100 appearances for the Brazilian national team. (AFP)
