There was a talent on the field that is not seen so often. But off the field, as is typical for Brazilians, it is very problematic. Only, for that “problem”, Robinho will spend the next nine years in prison!
The former football player of Real Madrid, Manchester City, and Milan received an official verdict today that he will have to spend the next period behind bars.
The former member of the Brazilian national team is accused in Italy of raping a 23-year-old girl, which he committed together with his friend Ricardo Falko.
In court, Robinho defended himself by claiming that the act itself, from 2013, which took place in Milan, was on a voluntary basis and that there was no coercion.
However, the prosecution had very strong evidence in the form of wiretapped conversations and messages, which in the end was enough to convict the once-famous football player.
Robinho’s last chance to prove his innocence disappeared today when his appeal was rejected before the Court of Cassation in Rome, which confirmed his nine-year prison sentence!
Moreover, the Brazilian went through a very complicated judicial system in Italy for almost five years and filed various complaints, but none of them were accepted.
Because of those accusations, the Brazilian Santos terminated the contract with Robinho only six days after they confirmed the cooperation. In the end, it turned out that the famous club was right…
What about Robinho? The once-great hope of world football is facing the darkest days of life. More precisely, with 3287, how many will they spend behind bars in total…
