Ronaldinho arrested in paraguay over fake passport claims

A shocking development!

According to reports, former Brazilian football star Ronaldinho was arrested in Paraguay on Wednesday, March 4, 2021, over allegations of using a fake passport.

The 40-year-old retired footballer, whose real name is Ronaldo de Assis Moreira, was detained at Asunción's Silvio Pettirossi International Airport after arriving from Brazil. He was accompanied by his brother, Roberto de Assis Moreira, who was also arrested.

The Paraguayan authorities claim that Ronaldinho and his brother presented fake passports, which were allegedly issued by the Brazilian government. The passports were reportedly stamped with a Paraguayan visa, which is believed to be a forgery.

Ronaldinho and his brother are facing charges of document forgery and could face up to six years in prison if convicted.

This is not the first time Ronaldinho has been involved in controversy. In 2019, he was banned from playing football for four months after testing positive for a banned substance.

The former Barcelona and AC Milan star is widely regarded as one of the greatest players of his generation, known for his exceptional skill, creativity, and goal-scoring ability. He won numerous titles, including two FIFA World Player of the Year awards, during his illustrious career.

It remains to be seen how this situation will unfold, but for now, Ronaldinho is behind bars in Paraguay, facing the consequences of his alleged actions.
