The Superior Court of Justice (STJ) suspended today (19) the judgment of the appeal in which the former soccer player Robinho asks for the complete translation of the process that condemned him in Italy. In the morning, the case began to be examined by the Special Court of the court, but a request for a view made by Justice João Otávio de Noronha interrupted the trial. By internal regulation, the minister has 60 days to release the process for trial again. The deadline can be extended for another 30 days. Before the interruption, Justice Francisco Falcão, the rapporteur of the case, maintained his individual decision, which, before the judgment, rejected the request for a complete translation. Robinho is the subject of a request for approval of the foreign sentence, required by the government of Italy, where the former player was convicted in three instances of involvement in a collective rape, which occurred in a nightclub in Milan, in 2013. nine years in prison. 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. According to Robinho’s defense, the complete translation is necessary to verify that due process of law was observed in the conviction handed down by the Italian Justice.
