The Italian Supreme Court confirmed this Wednesday the conviction of Nine years in prison for former Brazilian player Robson de Souza “Robinho” for raping a girl from 23 years in a nightclub in Milan in 2013, when he was wearing the Milan shirt.
The Italian Supreme Court rejected the appeal filed by Robinho’s lawyers, who defended the footballer by assuring that the girl had voluntary sexual relations with the Brazilian , according to Italian media reports.
Some intercepted telephone calls were important for the final sentence in which Robinho claimed: “It makes me laugh because I’m not interested, the woman was drunk, she doesn’t even know what happened” , add the sources mentioned.
Robinho’s conviction had been confirmed in 2020 by the Milan Court of Appeal , which considered that the player, formerly of Real Madrid and Manchester City, among others, “brutally humiliated” the victim and voluntarily diverted the investigations.
Robinho played for Milan in 2013 and participated together with a friend, Riccardo Falco, in the rape of a girl from 23 years that he was celebrating his birthday in a well-known Milanese place.
Robinho denied these accusations in 2020, when the news spread that Italy was investigating him for these events.
In 2009, when he was playing in the Premier League, it was learned that Robinho was being investigated by the police for an alleged rape in a Leeds nightclub, even if he was later released on bail, after an interrogation.
The footballer denied these accusations
The Italian justice should ask Brazil for a permit for the extradition of the soccer player, who does not reside in Italy, according to local media.
