Robinho speaks from prison, describes his reality as an ordinary inmate

Former Brazilian player Robinho is serving a 9-year prison sentence.

This is because he was part of a group that raped an Albanian woman in Milan in 2013.

Recently, Brazil’s justice system rejected a new appeal by Robinho and kept him in São Paulo prison, where he is serving his sentence for rape.

“They have spread lies that I am a prison leader or that I have psychological problems,” Robinho said.

The Taubaté Community Council, a nonprofit organization established by judge Sueli Zeraik to support the judiciary, released a video in which Robinho denied having privileges or receiving different treatment from other inmates.

“I have never received any special treatment. Visits are on Saturdays or Sundays. My wife never comes alone; she comes with my children. Visits are the same for everyone, and the treatment is the same for everyone,” Robinho added.

Robinho is serving his sentence at Tremembé 2 prison, which is also known as Brazil’s prison for celebrities
