Italian law is really weird, they can have trials if the defendant is not even there to defend themselves.
I guess it's now a question of whether Italy and Brazil have an extradition treaty and how much the Italians want to pursue it.
My bet would be that $$$$ will talk and he'll pay a 'settlement fee' which will be trousered by the Italian courts and some will also go to the poor bloody victim.
"Robinho has a right to two appeals and Italy would seek extradition only once this legal process is exhausted. However, Brazil does not allow for the extradition of its own citizens, meaning he would risk arrest and deportation only if he was stopped in a third country."
So if he just chills in Brazil for the rest of his life, he'll never serve any time.

As long as he controls himself in his own country, of course.
I heard about his involvement in a similar incident in Manchester years ago where the victim had her drink spiked, so he's got form here. I really hope he ends up in prison.

Secondly why would someone with so much going for him need or want to do this.
His life is ruined
The mind boggles
