Former footballer Robinho speaks about life in Brazilian prison

Brazilian winger Robinho, a former player for Real Madrid, Milan, and Manchester City, has emphasized that he is not receiving preferential treatment in prison. This is his first interview since being sentenced to 9 years in prison in Brazil for a rape case in Milan in 2013, when he was a player there. "During work hours, I work like the other prisoners, and we play football on Sundays. Visits are on Saturdays," Robinho (41) began in the video, which was published by a non-profit organization. He appeared healthy at the José Augusto César Salgado prison in São Paulo. The father of three children said: "My meals and sleep hours are the same as the other convicts. I have never eaten different food or received any preferential treatment."
