Pele's son to serve drug-related prison sentence, lawyer says (Reuters)
The son of soccer great Pele turned himself in to police on Friday after a court ruled he must serve almost 13 years of a 33-year drug-trafficking sentence, his lawyer told Reuters. A former goalkeeper at Pele's club Santos, Edinho was found guilty of drug trafficking and money laundering in 2005 but has been fighting the charges ever since. A judge heard his appeal against the original 33-year sentence on Thursday and reduced it to 12 years and 10 months.
