Speaking of Brazilian star Robinho, I believe that old fans will not be unfamiliar with him. Because of his talent, when Robinho debuted, many fans saw him as Ronaldo's successor. However, the growth trajectory of this "cycling teenager" has not been as expected, although he has traveled to many giants, he has never reached the height of Ronaldo. And just recently, the Brazilian superstar got into big trouble!
According to the Italian media "Football-Italia", the italian local court has recently formally dismissed Robinho's appeal for sexual assault, and he will be sentenced to 9 years in prison and pay 60,000 euros in damages. And when it comes to the beginning and end of this matter, we must turn the gears of time back to 2017.
In 2017, a local court in Milan, Italy, filed charges against Robinho and his friends, who the judge found that Robinho had joined his friends in raping a 23-year-old girl in a bowling alley in 2013. Although Robinho has always argued that the other party has had a relationship with him voluntarily, the judge found in the subsequent investigation that Robinho had threatened and insulted the victim, and that he had tried to conceal the investigation with forged evidence. In the end, the court found Robinho guilty of rape and sentenced him to 9 years in prison.
Seeing that he was about to become a prisoner of the order, Robinho naturally could not sit still, and he appealed twice in a row, but both were rejected by the local court. Last year, Robinho filed a request for final appeal to the Roman court, but the final result was still to uphold the original judgment. Robinho's rape charge was completely confirmed, he once enjoyed countless flowers, praised as a world-class star, and instantly became a criminal.
According to Italian media reports, Robinho has been on the Interpol list. There are currently no extradition regulations between Brazil and Italy, so as long as you stay in Brazil, the Italian police cannot take coercive measures. But as soon as Robinho leaves Brazil and enters a country with an Interpol treaty, he will be arrested and extradited back to Italy to serve his sentence. So as long as he stays in Brazil honestly, there is really no good way for Italy to sanction him. But the Italians apparently don't want to wait, and Justice Department official Stefano revealed that they will submit a request to the Brazilian government to arrest Robinho and let him serve his sentence in a local Brazilian prison.
Speaking of Robinho, he also has a relationship with Chinese football. It was in the summer of 2015, just as Robinho's contract expired, so Scolari, then the coach of Guangzhou Evergrande, took the initiative to recruit him and bring him to the Chinese Super League. During his half season with the team, Robinho played 10 games for Guangzhou, contributing 3 goals and 1 assist. Half a season later, Guangzhou Evergrande did not renew his contract, and Robinho had to return to Brazil, ending this short trip to China.
Now that Robinho has suddenly become a prisoner of the order, it is somewhat regrettable to recall the past of that year.
