Robinho’s defense has requested Brazil’s Supreme Court to prevent his immediate arrest following a ruling that he must serve a nine-year prison sentence in Brazil for rape. A Milan court in 2017 found Robinho and five other Brazilians guilty of gang raping a 22-year-old Albanian woman in 2013. The conviction was confirmed by an appeals court in 2020 and validated by Italy’s Supreme Court in 2022.
Robinho’s defense has requested Brazil’s Supreme Court to prevent his immediate arrest following a ruling for him to serve a nine-year prison sentence in Brazil for rape. This comes after a Milan court in 2017 found him and five others guilty of gang raping a 22-year-old Albanian woman in 2013, a conviction confirmed by an appeals court in 2020 and Italy’s Supreme Court in 2022. The Brazilian court confirmed the validity of the Italian sentence in Brazil, focusing solely on its applicability rather than reopening the rape case. Robinho’s lawyers argue that his imprisonment contradicts both the Brazilian Constitution and Supreme Court jurisprudence, emphasizing that there was no Brazilian law at the time of the crime for enforcing foreign sentences, and such a law cannot be applied retroactively.
