In 2017, Robinho was sentenced in Italy to nine years in prison for his part in a group sexual assault of a 22-year-old Albanian woman in 2013, when he played for AC Milan.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
But at the time he had already travelled to his homeland Brazil, which does not extradite its nationals. As a result, Italy sought his imprisonment in his home nation.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
A Brazilian court, following a request from Italy, has now ruled that he must serve out the prison sentence in Brazil, judges on Brazil's Superior Court of Justice voted 9-2 to validate Robinho's conviction, Sky news reported.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Eight of the 10 votes cast in the Superior Tribunal of Justice (STJ) case were in favour of Robinho's arrest and serving of the sentence on home soil.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Robinho's lawyer, Jose Eduardo Alckmin, stated in court that his client seeks a retrial in Brazil on the basis of national sovereignty, indicating potential appeal to the country's Supreme Court.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The ex-Brazilian international, who has 100 national caps, won two La Liga championships during his four-year tenure with Real Madrid.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
He later transferred to Manchester City in September 2008 for a then-British record fee of \u00a332.5 million on transfer deadline day.<\/p>\r\n\r\n", "image": "https:\/\/img.cricketnmore.com\/uploads\/2024\/03\/ex-real-madrid-and-man-city-star-robinho-to-serve-9-year-prison-sentence-for-rape-reports.jpg", "alt_img": "Ex-Real Madrid and Man City star Robinho to serve 9-year prison sentence for rape: Reports", "alt_title": "Ex-Real Madrid and Man City star Robinho to serve 9-year prison sentence for rape: Reports", "image1": null, "video": null, "seo_title": "Ex-Real Madrid And Man City Star Robinho To Serve 9-year Prison Sentence For Rape: Reports On Cricketnmore", "seo_desc": "Ex-Real Madrid And Man City Star Robinho To Serve 9-year Prison Sentence For Rape: Reports, Jose Eduardo Alckmin: Ex-Real Madrid and Manchester City forward Robinho will have to serve a nine-year prison sentence for rape.", "seo_keywords": "Real Madrid, Man City, New Delhi, Manchester City, AC Milan, Superior Court, Superior Tribunal, Jose Eduardo Alckmin, Supreme Court, La Liga", "tag": "", "tagging": "Real Madrid, Man City, New Delhi, Manchester City, AC Milan, Superior Court, Superior Tribunal, Jose Eduardo Alckmin, Supreme Court, La Liga", "status": "1", "img_rpt": "0", "google": "1", "standout": "0", "edapps": "0", "pulse": "0", "no_index": "0", "feed": "0", "fixture": null, "slug": "ex-real-madrid-and-man-city-star-robinho-to-serve-9-year-prison-sentence-for-rape-reports", "user_id": "0", "read_count": "0", "ians_date": null, "ians_time": null, "server_time": null, "trash": "0", "view_count": "866", "page_break": "0", "instant_articles": "1", "auto_link": "0", "created": "2024-03-21 11:36:03", "updated": "2024-03-21 11:36:03", "img_from": "Image Source: IANS", "img_source": null, "schedule_publish": null, "news_keywords": "Real Madrid, Man City, New Delhi, Manchester City, AC Milan, Superior Court, Superior Tribunal, Jose Eduardo Alckmin, Supreme Court, La Liga", "livescore_text": null, "livescore_link": null, "btn_text": null, "resend_feed": "1", "google_feed": "1", "read_more": "0", "posted_by": "23", "jio_date": "2024-03-21 11:36:03", "scheduled": "0", "news_now": "0", "breaking_news": "0", "google_date": null, "featured": "0", "sports_name": "football", "cnmid": "881511", "link": "https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/sports-news\/ex-real-madrid-and-man-city-star-robinho-to-serve-9-year-prison-sentence-for-rape-reports-14130" }
