A judge has confirmed that Brazilian football icon Ronaldinho may have to spend as long as six months in jail.
The 39-year-old was recently arrested in Paraguay for allegedly possessing an altered passport. Per Reuters, a request for Ronaldinho to be released into home arrest was declined on Tuesday.
In the same report, it's confirmed that Ronaldinho and his brother and business manager Roberto Assis, who was also arrested, may be incarcerated for as long as six months.
"Ronaldinho's freedom could lead to an obstruction (of justice) or an escape," judge Gustavo Amarilla said.
