Robinho Transferred From Tremembé to Limeira Resocialization Center

Overview

• São Paulo’s prison administration said the former player left P2 de Tremembé on Monday morning and entered the Limeira unit following a defense request.
• He is serving a nine-year term for a 2013 sexual assault conviction in Italy, which Brazil is executing because extradition is barred and the STJ homologated the foreign ruling in 2024.
• The Centro de Ressocialização de Limeira is a smaller facility geared to primary offenders and is described as calmer, with work and education programs that can reduce time served under statutory rules.
• In late October, a court declined to order a transfer and directed the defense to petition the prison administration, which later approved the move.
• He remains in the closed regime with the earliest progression expected around 2027 under Brazil’s 40% rule, as appeals continue with the PGR opposing release and a habeas corpus pending at the Supreme Court.
