| Robinho |
Brazilian football maestro, Robinho has been sentenced to nine years in prison after being found guilty of sexual assault.
According to Gazzetta dello Sport, the former Manchester City ace is one of a group of five guilty of sexually assaulting an Albanian girl in a Milan night club on January 22, 2013.
Robinho was playing for AC Milan at the time.
The Brazilian, now 33, is currently playing in his homeland with Atletico Mineiro.
Under Italian law he won’t be sent to prison until the appeals process has been finalised – which could take years.
If he loses the appeal he would still have to be extradited to serve prison time in Italy.
Robinho moved to Europe amid much hype in 2005 when he joined Real Madrid from Santos — but he only showed his talent intermittently.
