Robinho Seeks Transfer From Tremembé as Judge Sends Request to Prison Authority

Overview

• Robinho’s defense asked to move him from Penitenciária II de Tremembé to resocialization centers in Limeira, Rio Claro, or Bragança Paulista, citing good conduct and the unit’s planned change in mission.
• Judge Sueli Zeraik received the petition but ruled that transfers are an administrative matter for the State Prison Administration (SAP), noting she would not oppose a move if requirements are met and a vacancy exists.
• São Paulo’s judiciary was notified that Tremembé II will shift to housing only semi‑open regime inmates, prompting broader relocation planning without a set completion date.
• In a video released by the Conselho da Comunidade de Taubaté, Robinho denied receiving any special treatment and described a routine he says matches other inmates.
• O Globo reported accounts from prison staff alleging informal privileges for Robinho, including visits by a personal pastor, expanded visitation, roles with the prison football team, and gifts to fellow inmates, which he denies.
