RIO DE JANEIRO/SAO PAULO (Reuters) – Brazilian Supreme Court judge Luiz Fux rejected a habeas corpus petition by former soccer player Robinho’s legal team, maintaining the order for his immediate arrest, local news website G1 reported on Thursday.
On Wednesday, a different court ruled that Robinho must immediately serve a nine-year prison sentence for rape in Brazil, after being convicted in Italy in 2017.
