Ronaldinho released from prison in Paraguay

• The football great and his brother were arrested over a month ago after allegedly using a false passport to enter the country.

Brazil legend Ronaldinho and his brother has been released from prison in Paraguay and placed under house arrest.

The pair was arrested over a month ago after allegedly using a false passport to enter the country. They spend 32 days in Agrupacion Especializada prison.

Judge Gustavo Amarilla has decided that the duo can live in a hotel in Asuncion while they await trial on their charges.

Representatives of Ronaldinho and Assis have posted a $1.6 million (£1.3m) bail on behalf of their clients, after a previous application was denied because authorities deemed the pair to be a flight risk.

They were detained at the Resort Yacht and Golf Club Paraguay after producing fake documents. The duo travelled to the country to take part in a number of promotional events.

During his time behind bars, the former Barcelona star had been keeping busy by taking part in a number of prison football matches. Several photos and videos of the games have gone viral after being released.

The 2005 Ballon d'Or winner had already seen his Brazilian and Spanish passports seized by Brazil's authorities in 2019 because of separate legal issues.
