Wanted by the STJ, Robinho is seen naked in Santos

Former striker Robinho took pictures at a soccer game with friends this Tuesday (14th), in Santos (SP), on the same day that the STJ determined that he be summoned “immediately” to present his defense in the process that proceeds in court.

The photos, shared on Instagram by former Santos Wesley players Rodrigão and Renatinho, show Robinho in a rare public appearance since the Federal Public Prosecutor’s Office agreed to the continuation of the process, which could lead him to prison in Brazil for a rape. committed in Italy.

In the photos, the former player poses with friends in front of a soccer field at a club in Santos. Hours earlier, Minister Maria Thereza de Assis Moura had ordered that Robinho be cited, that is, that he be officially informed of the process that runs against him. Upon being summoned, the defendant has a deadline to defend himself, if he wants to.

Justice has been looking for Robinho for 20 days and has already tried to find him at four addresses where he was not found. Last week, after hiring a renowned group of lawyers, the former player informed the STJ of his current address.

“Minister Maria Thereza de Assis Moura has determined, again, that Robinho be summoned, now at the address where he, according to his defense, is located”, informed the STJ, in a note. “It is not, therefore, a question of calling the player, in the common sense of the word, but in the sense of having the opportunity to express his opinion on the request presented by the Italian government.”

Robinho’s photos mark a change in his routine, as he has been avoiding appearing in public since the process began to be processed at the STJ last month.

After the Italian court sentenced the former striker to 9 years in prison for the collective rape of an Albanian woman in Milan, the Italian government asked for the sentence to be served in Brazil.

“The decision by Minister Maria Thereza de Assis Moura, of the Superior Court of Justice, complied with the request of lawyer José Eduardo Alckmin, who represents Robinho. his defense. The citation is a necessary and natural phase of the process”, said the former player’s defense.
