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> <p>The post <a href="https://www.naijanews.com/2024/03/21/ex-real-madrid-star-robinho-fights-against-his-jail-term-in-brazils-supreme-court/">Ex-Real Madrid Star, Robinho Fights Against His Jail Term In Brazil’s Supreme Court</a> appeared first on <a href="https://www.naijanews.com">Naija News</a>.</p>
