Ronaldinho may be jailed again, here’s the reason
Retired Brazilian footballer Ronaldinho could be sentenced to jail again over unpaid maintenance to a former girlfriend.
According to reports in Brazil, the 41-year-old has been ordered to settle his debt with Priscilla Coelho by December 1 to avoid the seizure of his assets and possible prison.
This is coming a year after the multi-millionaire was imprisoned in Paraguay for using a fake passport
Officials are said to have handed Ronaldinho a court summons so he could be formally notified about the maintenance payment deadline on November 11 after several failed attempts to track him down.
Priscilla’s lawyer Bruno Medrado told Brazilian newspaper Extra: ‘Right now he has to pay up.’
In May 2018 Ronaldinho was forced to deny claims he was marrying Priscilla and another woman, named as Beatriz Sousa, at the same time.
The former Barcelona and AC Milan player is believed to be based in Dubai at the moment.
