Ronaldinho lawyers push for footballers release over fake passport scandal
It appears that there is a developing story surrounding Ronaldinho, the Brazilian football legend, and a fake passport scandal. According to reports, Ronaldinho's lawyers are pushing for his release from custody in Paraguay, where he was arrested earlier this week for allegedly using a fake passport.
Here's a summary of the situation:
- Ronaldinho, along with his brother Roberto Assis, was arrested on March 5, 2021, at Asunción's Silvio Pettirossi International Airport in Paraguay.
- The pair was accused of using fake passports to enter the country.
- Ronaldinho's lawyers have since claimed that the passports were genuine, but had been stolen from their previous owners.
- The Paraguayan authorities have launched an investigation into the matter, and Ronaldinho and his brother are currently being held in custody.
- Ronaldinho's lawyers have filed a request for his release, citing the fact that he is a former FIFA World Player of the Year and a global sports icon, and that he has never been involved in any criminal activity before.
The situation is still unfolding, and it remains to be seen how it will be resolved.
