Robinho resumed his routine in Santos. The former player changed his defense and understands that the process for the rape committed in Italy will take time to complete.
Robinho’s defense is now led by lawyer José Eduardo Alckmin. O UOL found that the professional asked to review all the documents in the process and seeks the annulment of the case in the Italian courts.
The lawyer must argue that Robinho would not have had ample right to defense and what evidence would have been obtained by illicit means, such as tapping your phone. This procedure, at the very least, would give more time to the defendant, who was confined at home and now feels more comfortable going out.
Robinho went to play footvolley last Saturday and participated in a “pelada” at Clube Saldanha da Gama with former Santos players last Tuesday. Footvolley on Saturday and the game on Tuesday were “sacred” until the former athlete understood that the moment required discretion, after the Federal Public Prosecutor’s Office agreed with Italy’s request and continued the process that could lead him to prison for nine years.
Last Tuesday, the STJ determined that Robinho be summoned “immediately” to present his defense in the process that is being processed in court.
Justice has been looking for Robinho for 20 days and has already tried to find him at four addresses where he was not found. Last week, after hiring the renowned law firm, the former player informed the STJ of his current address.
“Minister Maria Thereza de Assis Moura has determined, again, that Robinho be summoned, now at the address where he, according to his defense, is located”, informed the STJ, in a note. “It is not, therefore, a question of calling the player, in the common sense of the word, but in the sense of having the opportunity to express his opinion on the request presented by the Italian government.”
What Robinho’s defense says
“The decision by Minister Maria Thereza de Assis Moura, of the Superior Court of Justice, complied with the request of lawyer José Eduardo Alckmin, who represents Robinho. his defense. The citation is a necessary and natural phase of the process.”
