[Courtesy]Brazilian legend Ronaldinho has been warned he could be held behind bars for up to six months as an investigation sparked by his use of a doctored passport to enter Paraguay continues. The judge accepted prosecutors’ claims he posed a serious flight risk if he was released from custody. Even if he is released, authorities are expected to order him to remain in Paraguay until the investigation is completed. Police raided a Ronaldinho family home to seize assets in a bid to guarantee he paid fines due over the illegal fishing platform. Ronaldinho’s brother was sentenced to five years in jail in 2012 in Brazil for money laundering and other financial crimes.
