 Edson Cholbi do Nascimento aka Edinho, the third son of legendary footballer Pele, has been sentence to 33 years imprisonment for laundering money raised from drug trafficking.

This is not the first time the 43 year old goalkeeping coach will be sent to jail for drug related issues. In 2005, Edson was arrested and served a sentence for drug trafficking offences and links with a notorious drug dealer in the city of Santos. Edson has denied the charges of money laundering but admits he has a problem with drugs.
