Former Brazil and Manchester City player Robinho has been arrested in Brazil to serve a nine-year prison sentence for rape.
Robinho, 40, was arrested at his flat in Santos on Thursday.
He was found guilty in Italy in 2017 for his part in the gang rape of an Albanian woman at a night club in Milan in January 2013.
The former Premier League player, whose real name is Robson De Souza, was one of six men found guilty of assaulting the Albanian woman.
In 2020 an appeals court confirmed the conviction and the Supreme Court in Rome dismissed his final appeal against the conviction in January 2022.
