Robinho Transferred From Tremembé to Limeira Resocialization Center

Overview

• São Paulo’s prison authority said Robinho entered the Centro de Ressocialização de Limeira on November 17 after a formal request from his lawyers.
• He had been held at Penitenciária II de Tremembé since March 22, 2024, serving a nine-year sentence for a 2013 crime in Milan validated in Brazil by the Superior Court of Justice.
• CR Limeira is a smaller unit geared to primary offenders without faction ties and emphasizes work and educational programs, with specialists describing it as a calmer environment.
• An October bid to move him via the courts was redirected to the prison administration, and the defense cited clean conduct and primary-offender status when proposing Limeira among possible destinations.
• The Prosecutor General’s Office opposed a defense habeas corpus request, which remains pending at the Supreme Federal Court, and by law he must serve at least 40% of the sentence in closed regime before possible progression.
