After a long battle with illness, Edson Arantes do Nascimento, better known as Pele, died on Thursday at the age of 82.

Soccer legend and the only player in history to have won the World Cup three times, the Brazilian Pele, Edson Arantes do Nascimento of his full name, died Thursday at the age of 82. One of his daughters, Kely, announced it on Instagram.

“Everything we are is because of you. We love you so much. Rest in peace,” wrote Kely Nascimento in the caption of a photo where we can guess Pele lying in his hospital bed and supported by the hands of his relatives. Pele, who was fighting a colon cancer since 2021, had been admitted to the Albert-Einstein Hospital in Sao Paulo a month ago to treat a respiratory infection.

Victim mainly of shortness of breath, the legend also underwent surgery to treat metastases detected earlier this year, again according to the local newspaper.

Considered the best player of all time, Pele is the only player to have won the World Cup three times, in 1958, 1962 and 1970. Edson Arantes do Nascimento was born on October 23, 1940 in Tres Coraçoes, Minas Gerais, Brazil. He scored 1,281 goals in 1,363 matches (77 of them in 91 appearances for Brazil).

This pure attacking genius also has an exceptional record with the two professional clubs he played for (Santos FC and New York Cosmos), including the Intercontinental Cup (1962 and 1963), the Copa Libertadores (1962 and 1963), the United States championship (1977) and eleven times the Sao Paulo championship in the 1950s and 1960s.

He was named player of the 20th century by FIFA, best player of the 1970 World Cup, FIFA Ballon d’Or of Honor in 2013. He played 831 official matches for 767 goals. According to FIFA, which also counts all his friendly matches, he played 1363 matches and scored 1281 goals (including 6 quintuplets, 30 quadruplets and 92 triplets). In the World Cup, Pele scored 12 goals in 14 matches and scored at least 1 goal in 4 editions.

War in Ukraine: the International Criminal Court will not let go of Vladimir Putin, the international arrest warrant remains valid for life

The arrest warrant issued by the International Criminal Court in The Hague (ICC) for Russian President Vladimir Putin will remain valid even if Russia’s war against Ukraine ends.

“There is no statute of limitations on war crimes,” ICC Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan told BBC Radio on Monday.

The latter highlights Vladimir Putin’s alleged responsibility for the war crimes committed in Ukraine since Russia invaded the country. The arrest warrants against the head of state and his commissioner for children’s rights, Maria Lvova-Belova, will therefore remain hanging over their heads for the rest of their lives, he said. “Unless they appear before the independent judges of the court and the judges decide to drop the charges. »

The arrest warrants are essentially symbolic. A trial seems to be out of the question for the time being.

The British lawyer and chief prosecutor in the trial of former Serbian leader Slobodan Milosevic in The Hague told Sky News reporters that because of the arrest warrant for him, Vladimir Putin has become a wanted criminal. “This label will stick to him for the rest of his life, unless he is tried and acquitted or, which is almost unthinkable, the ICC withdraws the arrest warrant,” he explained. “The arrest warrant is a very, very important and encouraging step,” he said.
