According to the Paraguayan authorities, Ronaldinho and his brother Roberto are under investigation in Paraguay after entering the country with false passports. "Ronaldinho will be heard Thursday at eight in the morning at the seat of the prosecution," said Euclides Acevedo, Minister of the Interior of the small neighboring country of Brazil, to the press.
Paraguayan police raided the hotel where the 2005 Ballon d'O is housed in Asunción, where it is located to promote a book, and found, according to the minister, false passports made in the Paraguayan capital some months.
Ronaldinho and his brother have been arrested for entering Paraguay with fake passports.

No more passport since 2018
"We are also investigating the responsibility of the authorities who allowed them to enter the country with falsified documents," said the minister. Brazilian justice deprived Ronaldinho of a passport at the end of 2018, after being fined $ 2.5 million (about 2.25 million euros), which he never paid, for having built a pier without authorization at the edge of a lake in a protected area according to the Brazilian media.
