Once upon a time, it was the transfers and deals between clubs around the world that made headlines, from Real Madrid to Manchester City, via AC Milan and Santos. Today, Robinho's life is following a completely different trajectory, marked by a prison move that better illustrates the former Brazilian champion's downfall than any statistic. At 41, the former AC Milan player left the Tremembé penitentiary for the Limeira Resocialization Center, a facility where detention is combined with re-education programs and supervised outdoor activities.
Robinho has been detained since March 2024 following his final conviction by the Italian justice system for gang rape, a sentence set at nine years.

In the new center, the former striker will be able to receive family visits on weekends, an opportunity more strictly denied in the previous facility. He will also have access to volunteer work, including maintenance of the city's public spaces, a practice reserved for inmates deemed eligible for reintegration programs. The transfer does not change the severity of his sentence, but it marks a significant step in the management of his detention and in the process that Brazilian authorities define as "resocialization."
