The warden of the Paraguayan jail where Ronaldinho and his brother are being held after being arrested for allegedly entering the country with false passports said the player is handling the situation well.

Warden Blas Vera told Reuters (via ESPN) on Monday: "In broad terms he is doing very well. I see he is in good spirits, just like you see him on television, always smiling."

The former Brazil, Barcelona and AC Milan star and Roberto Assis, who is also his business manager, were arrested after allegedly presenting false documentation upon their arrival in Paraguayan capital Asuncion on Wednesday.
