Brazil striker Robinho is facing a risk of imprisonment for rape in the past.

Robinho, 33, who is currently competing in Brazil for Atletico Mineiro, has recently been accused of rape. In his career, the striker has played for many famous teams such as Real Madrid, Manchester City as well as AC Milan. And while playing in Serie A, Robinho has sexually assaulted a Albania woman in 2013.

In particular, a Milan court recently ruled the striker guilty. He and five other Brazilian men have had collective rape against a 22-year-old woman at a dancefloor. However, only the former Manchester City forward was accused, because the trial of Robinho's rivals has not yet been tried, due to their whereabouts have not been determined.

Facing the allegations, striker Robinho denied and handed over everything to his lawyer. He himself never appeared at any trial in Italy. Meanwhile, the lawyer and agent of Robinho – Marisa Alija Ramos said: "I need to clarify this, my client has protected himself by keeping silent, and asserted he is not involved in the incident. We still follow the rules and are fighting step by step for this baseless allegation. "

The Milan court asked Robinho to compensate 60,000 euros (£ 53,000) for the victims' pain. And if the offense is confirmed, former Real Madrid and Manchester City players will be sentenced to 9 years in prison.
