On April 7, local time, Brazilian retired football player Ronaldinho paid a security deposit of US$1.6 million and was released from prison and arrived at a hotel in Asuncion under residential surveillance. Previously, he was detained for using a fake passport and spent his 40th birthday in prison.
Chinanews, August 25. According to foreign media reports, Ronaldinho recently attended the hearing of his "fake passport case". In the end, he and his brother were found not involved in money laundering and forgery of documents. After five months, the former world footballer regained his freedom.
The 40-year-old Brazilian star Ronaldinho won the 2002 World Cup and the 2005 Ballon d'Or. He has played for Paris Saint-Germain, Barcelona, AC Milan and other European giants.
In early March of this year, Ronaldinho was arrested by the police for using a fake passport to enter Paraguay. It is reported that Ronaldinho went to Paraguay this time to participate in a charity event, and he was previously restricted from leaving the country by a Brazilian court.
But Ronaldinho's life in prison is much more "exciting" than many people think. Together with his brother, he was put into a "VIP cell", with a bed, TV, fan and public bathroom, and an outdoor balcony for the two to use regularly. In addition, they can also not have to eat "prison meal" and the daily meals are provided by the lawyer.

Driven by his good performance, both Barcelona and Ronaldinho themselves have reached new heights. The picture shows on December 21, 2004, Ronaldinho showed his 2004 World Footballer's Cup.
The prison guards revealed that Ronaldinho quickly adapted to life in prison and was in a good mental state, always smiling. Paraguayan players and some fans have also come to prison for visits. He even participated in the prison football game, helping the team win while also winning 16 kilograms of pork for the "prisoners" of the same team.
After being detained for 32 days, Ronaldinho paid a security deposit of US$1.6 million before he was released. Since then, he has been under residential surveillance in a local hotel in Paraguay.
Ronaldinho's lawyer filed an appeal in May, hoping to lift the surveillance and allow Ronaldinho to return to China, but his appeal was rejected. Ronaldinho had to stay in the hotel and cooperate with the police investigation. However, Ronaldinho finally has the chance to be free after the hearing. At present, Ronaldinho was released by the police after paying the $90,000 fine and can return to Brazil at any time. (Finish)
