São Paulo Court Cuts Robinho’s Sentence by 69 Days for Prison Study and Reading

Overview

• Published on October 28, the ruling credits 49 days for 464 hours of high school study and 11 courses totaling 132 hours, plus 20 days for reading five books.
• The court cited Article 126 of the Penal Execution Law and CNJ Resolution No. 391/2021, and the records did not list course or book titles as disclosed publicly.
• Robinho is serving a nine‑year term at Tremembé’s P2 unit for a 2013 sexual violence conviction finalized in Italy in 2022, whose execution in Brazil was homologated by the STJ in 2024.
• His recent request to transfer to another facility was denied, and he has stated he receives no special treatment at P2.
• The STF rejected his habeas corpus on August 29 by a 10–1 vote, and Brazilian law generally requires at least 40% of the sentence in a closed regime before any progression.
