MILAN: Robinho, the former Brazil, Manchester City and Real Madrid forward has been sentenced in Milan to nine years in prison in his absence for sexual assault.

The 33-year-old was found guilty of assaulting a 22-year-old woman along with five other men at a disco in Milan in 2013, when he played for AC Milan.

He played more than 40 games for Manchester City – who snatched him from the grasp of Chelsea – between 2008 and 2010 after signing from Real Madrid for £32.5m, making him the most expensive player in British football at the time.
