(ANSA) - ROME, FEB 15 - Milan prosecutors on Tuesday sent a
request for an international arrest warrant and the extradition
of former AC Milan and Brazil forward Robinho aka Robson de
Souza Santos after his recent definitive conviction to nine
years in jail for gang raping a 22-year-old Albanian woman in a
Milan disco on January 22 2013.
Legal sources said Robinho was unlikely to be extradited as the
Brazilian constitution does not allow the extradition of its
citizens.
Robinho was found guilty of committing the rape with five other
people.
The supreme court also upheld the conviction of one of
Roubinho's friends, Ricardo Falco, another Brazilian, to nine
years as lower courts had.
For the other four, accused of gang rape while taking
advantage of the woman who was drunk, the trial was
suspended after they became fugitives from justice.
Robinho and Ricardo were ordered to pay the woman damages of
60,000 euros.
Prosecutors had requested jail terms of 10 years.
Robinho, 37, who played for Milan between 2010 and 2014 scoring
25 goals in 108 appearances, denied the charges.
He has 100 Brazil caps and 28 goals for his country.
Robinho joined Atletico Mineiro from Guangzhou Evergrande in
2016, and ended his career there two years ago.
He had formerly played for Real Madrid, Manchester City, and
Santos. (ANSA).
