Robinho's legal team is seeking to reduce his nine-year sentence, which could allow the former Santos star to move to a semi-open regime soon.
Former Real Madrid and Brazil forward Robinho could see a major legal twist in his case, with the possibility of early release from prison following new legal developments.
Robinho, who has been serving a nine-year sentence for rape, was convicted in Italy but managed to avoid extradition, returning to Brazil to evade serving time abroad.
However, after a landmark ruling, the Brazilian justice system upheld the Italian conviction, leading to his imprisonment last year.
As March 21 approaches, marking one year since his incarceration, his legal team is pushing for a sentence reduction. According to GE, two key appeals are pending, with hopes that his sentence could be reduced from nine to six years. If successful, this could open the door for him to apply for a semi-open regime, significantly altering his prison conditions.
The case continues to attract widespread attention, not only because of the severity of the charges but also due to Robinho’s high-profile career, which saw him win multiple titles before his legal troubles overshadowed his legacy.
