SAO PAULO — Judges of a Brazilian high court started voting Wednesday on whether former soccer star Robinho can be jailed in his home nation for his 2017 rape conviction in Italy.
Robinho’s lawyer, José Eduardo Alckmin, told the court at the start of Wednesday’s hearing that his client wants a retrial in Brazil on the grounds of national sovereignty. “There’s no obstacle to validate the execution of his sentence. It was confirmed by a court in Milan, which is the competent authority in this case,” Falcão said. “The conviction is final. The defendant was not put on trial in absence in Italy, he had representation.”
