Ronaldinho breaks silence on his jail sentence
Former Brazilian legend Ronaldinho has spoken for the first time since leaving a Paraguayan prison last month.
Ronaldinho was arrested for allegedly being in possession of a fake passport but according to the former Barcelona man, he is “praying” for a swift solution to the fake passport scandal which has led to him being placed under house arrest at a Paraguay hotel.

He further insisted that they had no idea the Paraguayan passports he and his brother used to enter the country on March 4 had been doctored.
“We were totally stunned when we found out the documents weren’t legal. From that moment onwards our intention has been to co-operate with the courts to clarify all this. I have my faith.
“I always pray so that things turn out okay and God willing this will all end soon. Finding out I was going to prison hit me hard. I never imagined I would be in a situation like this.
All my life I’ve tried to reach my highest level professionally and bring happiness to people with my football,” Ronaldinho said in an interview on Sunday with Paraguayan daily ABC Color via Daily star.
Since his release from a remand prison cell on April 7, Ronaldinho has been under a house arrest at the four-star Palmaroga Hotel.
