  • Courts: Ronaldinho and the accumulation of disasters that have led him to step into prison

Ronaldo de Assis Moreira is one step closer to freedom. Judge Gustavo Amarilla has granted "house arrest" for the player and his brother, but for this the Brazilians have had to pay a joint bond of $ 1,600,000. However, and according to some sports media, it would have been a former teammate of Barça who has offered to post the bond. It is nothing more and nothing less than Samuel Eto'o. In addition, Ronnie's lawyers have stated that the Hotel Palmaroga, located in the historic center of the capital Asunción, will be where the former footballer will stay with his brother with police surveillance.

In this way, the 2005 Ballon d'Or leaves prison after more than a month of stay . It has been 32 days that the former FC Barcelona player has been jailed after allegedly trying to enter Paraguay with false passports. During these days, Ronaldinho has celebrated his 40th birthday behind bars in addition to becoming popular in the prison for his football matches with the rest of the prisoners.

The former player and his brother will each have a room in the luxurious hotel, where they will be subjected to police custody and prohibited from leaving Paraguay. However, due to the health crisis that is plaguing the world, neither of them will be able to leave the rooms, thus complying with the preventive measures to stop the expansion of the coronavirus.

Judge Amarilla rejected in March the lawyers' request for access to ambulatory freedom or to house arrest of the two brothers in a mansion valued at $ 800,000, which was also presented as bail. Amarilla has justified his refusal then because of a flight risk. However, it has now been when he has granted them this alternative measure, thus explaining that the situation of the accused has changed "based on the proceedings of the Public Ministry and based on the expertise carried out on the phones of the two brothers." Likewise, it has affirmed that it has not found "punishable acts to extend against them in the use of those public documents of false content."

A decision that has allowed the former Brazilian player and his brother to leave the Agrupación Especializada penitentiary facilities in Paraguay, but that they must continue to be 'under house arrest' in the country and complying with the mandatory quarantine. As soon as he was released from prison on his way to the hotel, Ronaldinho stopped to sign an autograph on a Gremio T-shirt and thus took the opportunity to dedicate a few words: "Thank you all for your love and prayers."
