    Pelé's son Edinho has been sentenced to 33 years in prison for money laundering resulting from drug trafficking.

    Sadly he is not likely to serve the full 33 years as he:

    1) can appeal
    2) the cap is 30 years even if one is sentenced to more than 30 years
    3) there are many mechanisms that allow an inmate to be released earlier

    Pretty sad that he always finds way into trouble. Has Pele made any attempt in trying to get him to turn his life around? Almost seems like he has disowned him....

    Pele was always a massive prick to this kid though, I have no sympathy for Pele.

    His son was playing gk and he was pretty decent and Pele was very hard on him. For instance he sucked at taking goal kicks so a defender did it and Pepe ripped into his son.
