A judge in Praia Grande, in Sao Paulo state of Brazil has
sentenced Edson Cholbi do Nascimento aka Edinho, the third son of legendary footballer Pele, to 33 years imprisonment for laundering money raised from drug trafficking.
This is not the first time the 43 year old goalkeeping coach will be sent to jail for drug related issues. In 2005, Edson was
arrested and served a sentence for drug trafficking offences and links
with a notorious drug dealer in the city of Santos. Edson has denied the
charges of money laundering but admits he has a
problem with drugs.
He was convicted alongside four others including a man accused of controlling much of the drug trafficking in the region -
Ronaldo Duarte Barsotti, known as Naldinho. Reports says he's most likely to appeal the judgement soon.
Wake up news...chai!

ReplyDeleteIn 9ja he would have been a free man before the press even hears 123...maybe there would have been no story. Imagine the Nyanya bomb blast mastermind who was arrested few yrs back on terrorism activity released because his father is a general. Today his freedom has cost many people their lives.
