Brazil legend ronaldinho arrested in paraguay for alleged use of fake passport
What a shock! Ronaldinho, the Brazilian football legend, has been arrested in Paraguay for allegedly using a fake passport.
According to reports, Ronaldinho, 40, was detained at Asunción's Silvio Pettirossi International Airport on Wednesday evening after arriving from Spain. He was taken into custody by Paraguayan authorities, who accused him of using a fake Italian passport.
The former Barcelona and AC Milan star, who won the 2002 World Cup with Brazil, was reportedly traveling to Paraguay to play in a charity match. However, his plans were foiled when immigration officials discovered the alleged fake passport.
Ronaldinho, whose real name is Ronaldo de Assis Moreira, has been in the news recently for his personal and professional struggles. He has been involved in various charity initiatives and has also been working as a football ambassador.
This is not the first time Ronaldinho has faced legal issues. In 2018, he was arrested in Guaruja, Brazil, for allegedly carrying a fake passport and a gun.
The investigation is ongoing, and it remains to be seen what consequences Ronaldinho may face for the alleged passport fraud.
