Former soccer player Robinho was arrested by Brazilian federal police on Thursday to serve out a nine-year prison sentence for rape after a court decision this week authorized the transfer of the sentence from Italy. In a statement, police said Robinho will undergo a medical examination and a custody hearing before being sent to prison.
A Milan court in 2017 found Robinho and five other Brazilians guilty of gang raping a 22-year-old Albanian woman after getting her drunk in a nightclub in 2013. The conviction was confirmed by an appeals court in 2020 and validated by Italy’s Supreme Court in 2022.
On Wednesday, Brazil’s top court for non-constitutional matters upheld Robinho’s rape conviction, determining he had to serve his nine-year prison sentence in Brazil.
The Brazilian court did not reopen discussions about the rape conviction, focusing only on whether the sentence in Italy was valid in Brazil.
