Easy targets? Singapore maids enticed by Lucky Plaza jewellers’ ‘S$0 upfront’ deals buy gold to pawn for cash; some struggle to repay debtsSAO PAULO, March 21 ― Brazilian judges ruled yesterday to uphold former AC Milan and Brazil striker Robinho's rape conviction, adding that he must serve his nine-year prison sentence in Brazil.
The trial in Brazil's Superior Court of Justice , the country's top court for non-constitutional matters, ended with the majority of judges ruling that Italy's decision was valid in Brazil. A Milan court in 2017 found Robinho and five other Brazilians guilty of gang raping a woman after plying her with alcohol in a discotheque. The conviction was confirmed by an appeals court in 2020 and validated by Italy's Supreme Court in 2022.The 40-year-old Robinho, whose full name is Robson de Souza, lives in Brazil and has always denied the charges.
Brazil does not usually extradite its citizens, so Italy requested last year that Robinho should serve his prison sentence in his home country. ― Reuters PM Anwar affirms federal govt's obligation in fulfilling state allocations after PAS-led Terengganu accuses Putrajaya of 'cruelty' for oil payment arrears
