The Superior Court of Justice (STJ) scheduled for April 19 the judgment of the appeal in which the former soccer player Robinho asks for the complete translation of the process in which he was convicted in Italy. The case will be analyzed by the Special Court of the court. Robinho is the subject of a request for approval of a foreign sentence, requested by the Italian government, where the former player was convicted in three instances of involvement in a collective rape, which occurred inside a Milan nightclub, in 2013. nine years in prison. In the appeal filed last week, Robinho’s defense stated that the translation of the process from Italian to Portuguese is necessary to verify the legality of the case. Another request for a complete translation has already been rejected by the rapporteur, Minister Francisco Falcão, who also ordered the confiscation of the former athlete’s passport. In an opinion sent yesterday (3) to the STJ, the Attorney General’s Office (PGR) opined against the defense’s appeal. For deputy prosecutor Carlos Frederico Santos, the complete translation of the process is not necessary because it is not up to the STJ to analyze the merits of the Italian Justice decision. Italy had requested Robinho’s extradition. The Brazilian Constitution, however, does not provide for the possibility of extradition of natural-born citizens. For this reason, the European country decided to request the transfer of the former player’s sentence. Thus, the court will analyze whether the conviction can be recognized and enforced in Brazil.
