Former Brazilian great Ronaldinho, due to play in the Legends game at Stade Saputo, August 4th, is the latest in a long line of wealthy soccer stars in trouble over tax evasion, BBC Sport reveals.
The report goes on to state the twice-named World Footballer of the Year, has had his Brazilian and Spanish passports confiscated, along with 57 properties seized over unpaid taxes and fines.
This clearly puts his appearance in Montreal this Sunday in jeopardy.
The newspaper Folha de Sao Paulo states he was fined 9.5m reais (USD$2.5m) for illegally building a pier at his Porto Alegre lakehouse.
