The Milan public prosecutor’s office has issued an international arrest warrant against Robinho. The former Seleçao striker is sentenced by Italian justice to nine years in prison for gang rape. Facts that date back to 2013. The retired footballer and five of his friends had repeatedly abused a young Albanian (22 years old) after leaving a Milanese nightclub. All his appeals were dismissed.
If he does not take the risk of traveling and is not extradited, the Brazilian with 100 caps could serve his sentence in his country. The civil party would see no inconvenience there. “For us, it doesn’t matter if he is serving his sentence in Italy or Brazil, ” said Jacopo Gnocchi, the victim’s lawyer . The important thing is that he purges her, especially given the offense committed and to protect women.
