Robinho must serve rape sentence in Brazil, court says

The trial in Brazil’s Superior Court of Justice , the country’s top court for non-constitutional matters, had a majority rule that Italy’s decision was valid in Brazil.A Milan court in 2017 found Robinho and five other Brazilians guilty of gang raping a woman in 2013 after plying her with alcohol in a discotheque. The conviction was confirmed by an appeals court in 2020 and validated by Italy’s Supreme Court in 2022.

Brazil does not usually extradite its citizens, so Italy requested last year that Robinho should serve his prison sentence in his home country. Robinho’s attorney Jose Eduardo Alckmin said after the trial that Robinho would surrender to authorities when officially notified about the decision. The Brazilian court did not reopen discussions about the rape conviction, focusing only on seeing if the sentence in Italy was valid in Brazil.
