| The son of Brazilian football legend Pele will return to prison after his appeal against a 13-year sentence for laundering drug-trafficking money was rejected, local authorities said on Saturday.
Edson "Edinho" Cholbi do Nascimento, 46, turned himself into a police station in Sao Paulo on Friday afternoon, a spokesperson for the Santos police told AFP.
The source added that Edinho was in a police cell awaiting transfer to a state prison.
One of seven children of three-time World Cup winner Pele, Edinho was found guilty of money laundering in 2014, although he had his original 33-year sentence cut in February this year.
But on Thursday, the Sao Paulo court of justice unanimously rejected an appeal against the conviction filed by his lawyer.
