Robinho played for Man City from 2008 to 2010 Former Manchester City footballer Robinho must serve a nine-year prison sentence in Brazil following his 2017 rape conviction in Italy, a Brazilian high court has ruled. Robinho was found guilty, along with five others, of sexually assaulting a woman in a Milan nightclub in 2013. The former Brazil international was sentenced to nine years in prison and has lost two appeals to overturn his conviction, but continues to deny any wrongdoing.
It was confirmed by a court in Milan, which is the competent authority in this case. ‘The conviction is final. The defendant was not put on trial in absence in Italy, he had representation.’ Robinho can appeal the decision to Brazil’s Supreme Court and his lawyers have suggested that he will seek to do so.
