Robinho's prison sentence was reduced.

Former Brazilian football star Robinho has had his prison sentence reduced by an additional 160 days after a Sao Paulo court approved his defense's plea for leniency.

Robinho's prison sentence was reduced.

This information continues to attract public attention, as Robinho is one of the most famous Brazilian football stars of the past two decades, having played for many big clubs such as Santos, Real Madrid, AC Milan, and Manchester City.

According to a decision announced last week by the Sao Paulo State Court of Justice, the sentence reduction was applied based on regulations concerning rehabilitation and reintegration into the community for prisoners. Currently, Robinho is serving his sentence at the Limeira Reintegration Center, located in the inland region of Sao Paulo state.

Robinho's lawyer, Mario Rossi Vale, confirmed that his client was eligible for a sentence reduction due to his active participation in labor and education during his imprisonment. "He worked and studied diligently. Therefore, Robinho is entitled to a 160-day sentence reduction as stipulated by law," Vale stated.

In November 2025, Robinho also had his sentence reduced by 69 days. The reason was that during his imprisonment, the former Brazilian footballer completed 11 different courses, participated in 464 hours of high school education, and read and wrote reports on five books as required by the prison.

Robinho was sentenced to nine years in prison in connection with the gang rape of a 23-year-old woman at a nightclub in Milan, Italy, in 2013, while he was playing for AC Milan. The incident shocked the football world and left a major stain on the career of a player once considered an icon of Brazilian football talent.
