Robinho awaits fate on serving nine-year rape sentence in Brazil
(FILES) Robinho of Brazil’s Atletico Mineiro gestures during their 2017 Copa Libertadores match against Bolivia’s Wilstermann held at Mineirao stadium, in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, on August 9, 2017. – Brazilian justice will examine on March 20, 2024, whether former soccer player Robinho should serve his sentence for rape in Brazil, where the trial against Dani Alves sparked criticism for the silence of the cream of the football world in cases of violence against women. The magistrates of the Superior Court of Justice (STJ), based in Brasilia, will evaluate the request of the Italian justice system to homologate a nine-year prison sentence imposed on the former striker in Milan in 2017 and ultimately ratified in Rome in 2022.
