A judge on Friday barred Robinho from leaving Brazil while he decides whether the footballer’s nine-year rape sentence, handed down by an Italian court, can be served in the South American country.
Judge Francisco Falcao “prohibited the sportsman from leaving the country. He has to hand in his passport within five days,” Brazil’s Superior Court of Justice said in a statement. Falcao, a judge on the STJ, is analysing an Italian request for the sentence against Robson de Souza to be served in his home country.
In his ruling Friday, Falcao cited the “gravity of the crime, the international repercussions of the case and the economic conditions of the player which could facilitate an eventual escape from Brazil.”
