Ronaldinho held in paraguay over fake passport claims

A shocking development!

According to reports, former Brazilian football star Ronaldinho was arrested and detained in Paraguay on Wednesday, March 4, 2021, after arriving at a hotel in Asunción with a fake passport.

The 39-year-old retired footballer, whose real name is Ronaldo de Assis Moreira, was taken into custody by Paraguayan authorities after it was discovered that his travel documents were not valid.

Ronaldinho, who is a two-time FIFA World Player of the Year, was in Paraguay to visit his friend, former Paraguayan footballer Nelson Haedo Valdez, who is currently facing legal issues.

The fake passport claims are reportedly related to a visa issue, as Ronaldinho allegedly entered the country without a valid visa. The authorities are investigating the matter and may charge him with identity fraud and other related offenses.

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.

It's unclear how long Ronaldinho will remain in custody, but it's likely that he will face legal consequences for his actions.
