In Italy, the player was sentenced to 9 years in prison for rape; country has asked for the athlete’s extradition
Former soccer player Robson Souza, known as Robinho, published an image with the shirt of the Brazilian team and making the urn number of President Jair Bolsonaro (PL), the 22. Publication was made on his Instagram profile this Friday (30.Sep.2022).
On January 19, Robinho and his friend Ricardo Falco were convicted of gang rape by the Court of Cassation of Italy, the last instance of the Italian Justice, equivalent to the STF (Supreme Federal Court) in Brazil.
Here’s the post published by Robinho this Friday (30.set):
At the time, the Milan Public Ministry sent the player’s extradition request to the Brazilian Ministry of Justice, so that he could serve his sentence in the country. However, Brazil does not extradite its citizens. The action is prohibited by the 1988 Constitution, which made his arrest unfeasible.
In 2020, the player was convicted in the 2nd instance of the Italian Court. In the same year, he went to Santos Futebol Clube as the big signing of the season. However, Robinho’s name was not well received due to the lawsuit. At the time, he recorded a video saying that, if it was in the way, “it was better to leave”.
By choosing to terminate the contract with Robinho, Santos lost around R$ 20 million in sponsorships.
