BEVERLY HILLS, August 25, (THEWILL) – A Paraguayan judge has released legendary Brazilian player, Ronaldinho and his elder brother, Roberto de Assis Moreira, on Monday after five months in state custody over a forged passport.
Ronaldinho “is free to travel to whatever country in the world he wants but he must inform us if he changes his permanent residence” for a period of one year, Judge Gustavo Amarilla said.
“He has no restrictions except for the fulfilment of reparations for damage to society.”
The former World Cup winner accepted the terms of his release which include payment of $90,000 in damages. His brother, who also doubles as the former footballer/ manager, will also pay $110,000.
Judge Amarilla disclosed that he was not issuing a “definitive dismissal” of the case but rather the former Barcelona’s player was benefitting from a “conditional suspension of the procedure”.
