A Brazilian court has sentenced soccer legend Pele's son Edinho to 33 years in prison for laundering money for drug traffickers, media reports said on Saturday. Edson Cholbi Nascimento, nicknamed Edinho, denies the charges in the case, which dates from 2005, and will be allowed to remain free pending an appeal, said CBN radio and news site G1. Edinho, 43, is accused of ties with a drug cartel led by Ronaldo 'Naldinho' Duarte Barsotti.
