The first images of Ronaldinho behind bars in Paraguay have emerged.
The Barcelona great and former AC Milan star was arrested in Paraguay for possessing a fake passport. He was transferred, together with his brother Roberto de Assis, to Asuncion prison after an order of preventive detention signed by the judge of the Palace of Justice, where both had appeared for six hours before the ruling.
The brothers are imprisoned in a sector located on the top floor of the main building which also houses politicians accused of corruption and drug traffickers.
Pre-trial detention, given to avoid flight, could last up to six months. The judge rejected the proposal of house arrest made by the defense.
Ronaldinho’s representative, Adolfo Marin, told La Folha of Sao Paulo that his client “did not know he was committing a crime. It was foolish”.
