Ronaldinho released from Paraguayan prison after month

The former attacker of FC Barcelona and AC Milan, among others, first had to pay a deposit of $ 1.6 million. The two are waiting under house arrest for the trial to be heard.

In Paraguay

Ronaldinho is in prison for entering Paraguay with a false passport. He had traveled to the country to promote a book. When police searched the hotel room where he and his brother Roberto were staying last month, they found the two forged passports.

Outstanding fine

At the end of 2018, Ronaldinho had to hand in his passport. That was taken away by a Brazilian court at the time. He still had to pay a fine of more than 2 million euros after a conviction for a serious construction violation in a protected nature reserve.
