Ronaldinho Released From Paraguay Detention After Five Months

Former Brazil international Ronaldinho has been released from detention after five months in Paraguay.

His brother, Roberto de Assis, is also a free man as he has also been allowed to walk away.

Ronaldinho was arrested in Paraguay on March 6 with his brother Roberto Assis for entering the South American country without the right documentation.

The pair were in the country to partake in a number of promotional events.

After initially spending 32 days in the Agrupacion Especializada prison, they were released on April 7 and placed under house arrest at the Hotel Palma Roga in Asuncion until investigation into the case was concluded.

"The precautionary measure of arrest is lifted. There are no more restrictions placed by Paraguayan justice," Judge Gustavo Amarilla said at a court hearing on Monday.

Under the terms of his release, Ronaldinho will pay €76,000 in damages while his brother will fork out €96,000.

Ronaldinho is widely considered as one of the greatest footballers of all-time, having won the FIFA World Cup with Brazil in 2002.

He won two La Liga titles and the UEFA Champions League during his time with Barcelona and also turned out for the likes of AC Milan and Paris Saint Germain in an illustrious career before retiring in 2015.
