Former Brazilian  and Barcelona footballer Ronaldinho and his brother appeared in court on Saturday over allegations of using fake passports to enter Paraguay.

The 39 year old had travelled to Paraguay to promote a book and a campaign for underprivileged children.

Ronaldinho in 2004 and 2005 was the World Player of the Year and reached the prime of his career at Spanish giants Barcelona. He won the World Cup for Brazil in 2002 alongside fellow superstar forwards Ronaldo and Rivaldo.

Prosecutors said the brothers were given the false documents when they landed in the capital Asuncion on Wednesday.

The pair were taken into custody on Friday, just hours after a judge refused to uphold a prosecutor’s proposal for an alternative punishment.

The brothers through their prosecutor argued that had been tricked. They deny any wrongdoing while being questioned by police.they said they thought the passports were a courtesy gesture.

Paraguayan police officers later searched their hotel rooms for more evidence to help in the investigation.

At the court in Asuncion on Saturday, a judge ordered that Ronaldinho and his brother, Roberto,to  be placed in pre-trial detention.
