Brazilian ex-footballer Robinho has been arrested on allegations of gang rape.
According to foreign media reports, Robinho was arrested from his flat in Santo. The footballer who plays for Brazil and Italian club AC Milan, was accused of gang-raping a Lebanese woman in a Milan nightclub in 2013, for which he was sentenced to nine years in prison two years ago.
A Brazilian court has upheld the verdict and ordered that Robinho serve his sentence behind bars instead of being under house arrest, after which he was arrested.
Robinho maintains that everything happened with the woman was by mutual consent.
