The Federal Court of Santos accepted the STJ’s letter and issued the arrest warrant. Robinho was taken to the Federal Police headquarters in the city. The former player’s lawyers tried to reverse the decision with a habeas corpus in the Superior Federal Court (STF), so that he could await the appeals of the case in freedom. Minister Luiz Fux, responsible for analyzing the injunction, denied the request.
