“He is doing very well,” explained Blas Vera. “He's in a good mood, as you see him on television. Always smiling“.

Ronaldinho and his brother Roberto They were arrested on Friday for using a false Paraguayan passport. His lawyer, Sergio QueirozThey claimed that they had asked the court to put them under house arrest and offered guarantees that they did not represent a risk of flight.

According to Vera, the former footballer and his brother have beds, a TV and a fan in the cell from the jail, which is located on the outskirts of the country's capital, Asuncin. They use a community bathroom and have the right to go outside regularly. That is, they have not eaten food from the jail, since their lawyers have provided them with food.
