Former Brazil and Manchester City winger Robinho will reportedly serve a nine-year jail sentence for gang rape in his home country after he was found guilty in Italy in 2017.
Brazil’s Superior Court of Justice (BSCJ), according to Globo, came to the landmark judgement on Wednesday after Italian authorities had asked to extradite the 40-year-old in 2022.
The former Premier League player, who’s real name is Robson De Souza, was one of six men who were found guilty of assaulting an Albanian woman in an Italian nightclub in January 2013.
In January 2022, the Supreme Court in Rome dismissed his final appeal against the conviction.
Robinho claims he is innocent and has been living in Brazil for the past seven years.
