Remember Robinho’s case

The Special Court of the STJ, made up of 15 ministers, will analyze the Robinho case. The rapporteur of the process is Francisco Falcao, who must vote for the ex-player’s sentence to be served in Brazil. It is worth remembering that Robinho will only be detained if the majority of ministers follow the rapporteur’s vote.

Robinho did not serve his sentence in the European country because, at the time of his conviction, the Italian court asked that he be extradited to serve his sentence in the country in which he was convicted. As Brazil does not extradite its citizens, Italy requested that the sentence be carried out here.
