Italy Calls For Extradition Of Robinho To Serve Nine-Year Jail Term

Italy has requested Brazil extradite embattled football star, Robinho, to serve a nine-year jail term for gang raping an Albanian woman in a nightclub in Milan.

Judges at the Court of Cassation in Rome had confirmed the sentence for the offence which dates back to January 2013 when the 37-year-old was playing for AC Milan.

Robinho exercised his right to appeal his rape conviction, but it has been upheld by multiple Italian courts, most recently the Supreme Court of Cassation in January this year.
