Italian Justice Confirms Sentence for Brazilian Player Robinho

In Italy, the justice of that nation presented the verdict that confirms the 9-year prison sentence for the 37-year-old Brazilian player Robinho, for the crime of group rape committed in a nightclub in Milan in 2013.

About the Case

The Milan Court of Appeals, which convicted the football player last December, considers that he acted with "special disdain towards the victim, who was brutally humiliated," according to the judges.

Appeal Process

It is worth noting that Robinho's defense still has 45 days to file an appeal with the third instance of the Italian justice, the Court of Cassation.
