An Italian court sentenced the Brazillian footballer to nine years in prison for raping a woman - however, Brazil does not extradite nationals.

Ex-Manchester City footballer Robinho has been told by judges he must serve a nine-year prison sentence for rape in Brazil. In 2017, Robinho was sentenced in Italy to nine years in prison for his part in a group sexual assault in 2013 when he played for AC Milan. Brazil does not extradite nationals, which led Italy to seek his imprisonment in his home nation.

The Brazilian footballer would later move on to AC Milan. The first judge to vote on the Brazillian court, Francisco Falcao, said Robinho should serve his sentence in Brazil. He added that the former player cannot go unpunished and that diplomatic friction between Brazil and Italy could emerge if the sentence is not served.
