Robinho Transferred From Tremembé Prison to Limeira Facility

Overview

• The former footballer left Penitenciária II de Tremembé around 8:30 a.m. on November 17 and arrived at the Centro de Ressocialização de Limeira.
• He had been held at Tremembé since March 22, 2024, sharing a standard 2-by-4-meter cell in a wing for high-profile convicts.
• In late October, a court declined to order a move and directed the defense to petition the state prison administration, which the defense had cited along with his reported good conduct and suggested locations including Limeira.
• The São Paulo penitentiary authority had not responded to press inquiries about the transfer at the time of publication.
• Robinho is serving a nine-year sentence for a 2013 rape conviction determined in Italy and homologated by Brazil's STJ in 2024, and legal rules indicate he is expected to remain in closed custody until at least 2027 before any potential progression.
