The year 2020 is definitely very hard for Ronaldinho who, with his brother Roberto Assis, had been imprisoned in Paraguay in March, after entering there with false passports. The two men had been placed under house arrest in a Paraguayan hotel in April, after serving 32 days in prison and paying bail of 1.6 million dollars (1.31 million euros). Four months later, Ronaldinho was released, and was able to return to Brazil.
