<h2><a href="https://www.naijanews.com/2021/03/10/rape-court-upholds-nine-years-jail-term-for-robinho/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Former Real Madrid and Manchester City forward, Robinho</a> is making efforts not to serve his 9-year jail term in his home country, Brazil.</h2>
<p>The lawyers of Robinho approached Brazil's supreme court earlier today, March 21, to appeal that the 9-year sentence slammed on their client should be suspended.</p>
<p><strong>What happened to Robinho?</strong></p>
<p>After Robinho had played for Santos, Real Madrid, and Manchester City, he joined the Italian Serie A club, AC Milan, in 2010 and played for the club until 2015.</p>
<p>During that period, the 2005 World Soccer Young Player of the Year winner was allegedly involved in a gang rape at a Milan nightclub in 2013.</p>
<p>He was found guilty of the allegation and was sentenced to 9 years in prison in 2017 while he was playing for a Brazilian club, Clube Atlético Mineiro.</p>
<p>His lawyers appealed the judgment and they won the appeal in 2020. Unfortunately for him, the judgment was re-established in 2022 in the Italian Supreme Court.</p>
<p>But Robinho wasn't sent to jail because he was in Brazil and the country doesn't give room for its citizens to be extradited even with an international warrant of arrest.</p>
<p>Hence, Italian authorities had to write the Brazilian government to allow Robinho to serve his 9-year jail term in Brazil.</p>
<p>Earlier this month, the appeal court in Brazil ruled in favour of the request from Italy. But the lawyers of the 40-year-old retired footballer had to appeal the judgment at the Supreme Court on Thursday.</p>
<p>It is left to be seen whether Brazil's supreme court will uphold the 9-year jail term of the 100-cap Brazil international.</p>
