Ronaldinho’s lawyer Sergio Queiroz will ask for the player and his brother to be released and allowed to return home.
The two-time world player of the year and his brother Roberto, who was detained with him, spent their third night behind bars in the capital Asuncion on Sunday after using forged travel documents to enter the country. “Ronaldinho did not commit a crime because he did not know that the passport they gave him was faked,” he said.
Ronaldinho, considered one of the greatest footballers of all time, was the star of Brazil’s 2002 World Cup win and played for Paris St Germain, AC Milan and Barcelona, among others.
