Ex-soccer star Robinho outlines his strategy for post-prison life following a nine-year stint behind bars.
In the confines of Tremembé Prison, Robinho, the renowned Brazilian footballer, is serving a nine-year sentence for a gang-rape conviction in Italy [1]. Despite the gravity of his situation, the former Santos, Manchester City, Milan, and Real Madrid player is making the most of his time behind bars.
Robinho is described as a model prisoner, actively engaging in rehabilitation programs and reducing his sentence through various prison activities such as TV repairs and education programs [1]. One such program, the Education for Work and Citizenship Program, allows Robinho to shave a day off his sentence for every 12 hours of work [1].
The football star is also making strides in other areas. He has outlined plans for his life after prison, which includes a venture with fellow inmate, hacker Walter Delgatti, to launch a betting company [1][3][4][5]. This ambitious project aims to capitalise on Robinho's football fame and Delgatti's tech expertise.
Details about the betting company are scant, but it's clear that Robinho is serious about rebuilding his post-prison career [1][3][5]. He has been discussing the project with Delgatti during their time together at the prison yard.
Robinho's prison life is not without its challenges. He participates in courses, tends a prison garden, and is a part of a book club, all of which contribute to his routine [1]. Despite the psychological hurdles, he maintains regular contact with his family and religious visits.
The betting company project is a testament to Robinho's determination to forge a new path post-prison. His plan for survival after serving his sentence is a topic of interest in Brazilian media [1]. However, the article does not provide any updates on Robinho's legal case or potential appeals.
As Robinho continues to serve his sentence, he remains focused on rehabilitation and sentence reduction efforts. The future beyond the prison walls may still be uncertain, but Robinho is undoubtedly making preparations for a life after incarceration.
