Ronaldinho released from Paraguay detention

Former Brazil star Ronaldinho has been granted his liberty from house arrest in Paraguay after nearly 6 months in detention.

The World Cup winner and his brother Roberto de Assis were first jailed in March when they entered Paraguay with forged passport.

The duo who entered the country for a promotional tour, got their passports from a local sponsor upon landing.

They spent 32 days in a maximum security jail before being transferred to a hotel where they were held under house arrest.

The ex-Barcelona star and his brother both pled guilty to entering the country with fake passports and paid a twenty thousand dollar fine. Ronaldinho’s brother was also released on Monday.
