Robinho, his conviction to nine years in prison for rape confirmed

Sentenced to nine years in prison for rape at first instance, Robinho saw the Milan Court of Appeal confirm the conviction.

New legal defeat for Robinho. The conviction of the former Milanese to nine years of imprisonment, for the gang rape of a young woman committed in 2013 while he was playing with the Rossoneri, has in fact been confirmed by the Milan Court of Appeal.

The former Brazil international was among six men accused of taking part in the gang-rape of a 20-year-old woman at a Milan nightclub. The prison sentence was accompanied by a fine of 60,000 euros in damages.

Robinho, who disputes the facts, now has 90 days to appeal. And this while his denials had recently been undermined by phone recordings in which he said: “I don’t care” or “the girl was completely drunk. She doesn’t remember what happened ”. Words that had led to his dismissal from his training club, Santos.
