A former Brazil player has slammed rape accused footballers Dani Alves and Robinho, insisting that the pair feel they are "superior to women."
Robinho was found guilty of raping a woman along with five other Brazilian men after getting her heavily intoxicated with alcohol at a club in Italy, per Sky Sports.
The incident is said to have taken place in 2013 and in 2017 the former Manchester City star was sentenced to nine years in prison for his crimes.
The then-AC Milan star filed two appeals in an attempt to get his conviction overturned. However, in 2022, the Supreme Court in Rome upheld the original decision to have the ex-Real Madrid man jailed for almost a decade. The player remains out of jail, as the Brazilian Constitution does not allow for its citizens to be extradited to Italy.

Meanwhile, Alves was arrested in January for alleged sexual assault on a woman in a Barcelona nightclub in December 2022. He has since remained behind bars while awaiting trial. The full-back has insisted that the encounter was consensual, however, the victim and witnesses have rejected his claim.
Former Selecao player Walter Casagrande, who played at the 1986 World Cup, has claimed that Robinho and Alves think they "are above good and evil."
"I think that an image of power is created around them and the feeling that nothing will happen to them," Casagrande told Spanish outlet AS.
"They feel superior to women and believe that they can invade other people's space because they are famous and have a lot of money.
"It is both [arrogance or lack of scruples] things. They believe that they are above good and evil and that is not how you live in society.
"Both Alves and Robinho have an arrogant and arrogant personality that leads them to think that they can do anything without consequences."
