A Brazilian court will hear Italy’s case against former Real Madrid star Robinho, who was sentenced to nine years in jail for rape in Europe.
Former Real Madrid player Robinho is facing legal trouble in Brazil as a court has decided to proceed with Italy’s case against him. The case stems from a rape conviction in Europe, resulting in a nine-year prison sentence for the footballer.
The Brazilian court has not yet agreed to Italian authorities’ request for 39-year-old Robinho to serve his sentence in Brazil. For potential legal proceedings, it is important to note that Brazil has a policy of not extraditing its own citizens.
When will the Brazilian court hear Robinho’s rape case?
The superior court of justice in Brazil has scheduled a decision for August 2nd to determine if the Italian government must translate Robinho’s entire case into Portuguese and send it to Brazilian authorities for further examination. Robinho’s lawyer made this request. Thus moving the case forward
In 2017, Robinho was found guilty in Italy for his involvement in a group sexual assault that occurred in Milan four years earlier. At the time of the incident, Robinho was playing for the Serie A team AC Milan.
