Former Brazilian player and 2-time Ballon D’or winner Ronaldinho who was arrested last week by Paraguayan authorities for using fake passport while trying to get into the country has been released but has been charged to court, his former teammate Lionel Messi has offer to employ 4 lawyers to help get him out of jail.
His former Barcelona teammate and current Ballon D’or winner Lionel Messi, who has employed 4 lawyers to help get his old colleague and friend out of his current quagmire and his running-ins with Paraguayan authorities. The documentation displayed claimed the duo were from the country they were trying to enter, having been staying at the Yacht and Paraguayan Club Hotel Resort in the city of Lambare after claiming to have been invited by Nelson Belotti, owner of the Il Palazzo casino.
At first, it seemed as though the pair would be let off with a slap on the wrist after co-operating and telling police they got the passports from businessman Wilmondes Sousa Lira.
But after a court in Paraguay refused bail and rejected appeals for house arrest, both Ronaldinho and his brother are sharing a cell in Agrupación Especializada of the National Police of Paraguay.
The biggest irony of the whole of Ronaldinho’s ordeal is that just days after one of the world’s greatest footballers entered the facility, the prison is staging a futsal tournament.
