Edinho, the son of soccer legend Pele, was sentenced to 33 years in prison for laundering drug money according to The Daily Mail.
Pele’s son admits to being a drug addict but protests his innocence surrounding any other charges.
The 43-year-old – who has served time in jail for drug trafficking before – is a goalkeeping coach at Santos.
He is expected to appeal the ruling according to Brazilian media.
With the World Cup beginning in less than 2 weeks, this is a huge PR disaster for Brazil.
