Topics: Ronaldinho, Barcelona, Roberto de Assis, Paraguay
Despite initial reports, the Brazilian ace and his brother could be forced to spend some timie in prison due to this incident.

Ronaldinho's ordeal in Paraguay may see the former player getting in more problems, as the initial decision to let him leave free of charge has been overturned by a Paraguayan judge, and now, the former Barcelona ace could be facing jail time.

The former AC Milan player was initially freed on Thursday by a Paraguayan judge, but attempts to reach a plea bargain for him and his brother Roberto failed, causing prosecutor Osmar Legal to change the ruling.

"Ronaldinho's arrest was ordered and he has now been placed under formal investigation. Osmar Legal has accused the ex-footballer Ronaldo de Assis Moreira and his brother Roberto de Assis Moreira, both of Brazilian nationality, of the crime of using a public document with false content and is seeking their remand in prison," a spokesman of the General Attorney's Office stated.

The player was spotted leaving the court house handcuffed (although he covered his hands with a sweatshirt) next to his brother/agent, Roberto.

Paraguayan officers investigating the case are seemingly opposing to let the former player out on bail. Sources close to the investigation believe that the man that invited Ronaldinho and his brother to Paraguay may be involved in a money-laundering scheme, but as things stand, the player will not be allowed to leave the country.

Reports coming in from Paraguay have stated that Ronaldinho and his sibling have already spent their first night in a jail cell.

Dinho's attorney Adolfo Marín has stated that Ronaldinho did not mean to hand in the "fake" passport when he got into the country. The lawyer said that the fake passport was the first thing his client could get out of his pocket, and that his client was carrying it because he believed it was a "honorary type of document."

The former player and his brother are expected to face the prosecutors' questions in the next 48 hours, which could see both of them spending more time in prison.
