Some of the sponsors of the Saints lobby the board to terminate Robinho’s contract after revealed recordings this friday on the web GE.com.
The player admitted taking part in an act that culminated in the indictment of an Albanian woman for gang sexual violence in 2013. The sentence of nine years in prison came in 2017.
Robinho denies sex without consent and defends himself in freedom. The analysis of the case in second instance will be carried out in December.
See the positions of the sponsors:

We emphasize that the Club’s decision regarding the professionals who work there rests solely with the club, and for us, as sponsors, it is up to us to seek association with properties that bring us good experiences and insights.
