Seized Ron is ‘stupid’

RONALDINHO has been branded “stupid” by his own lawyer for trying to enter Paraguay on a fake passport.

Adolfo Marin insisted the former Barcelona and Brazil football legend had no idea he was doing anything wrong.

He said: “The courts have not taken into account the fact Ronaldinho didn’t know he was committing a crime because he didn’t understand he had been given false documents. He is stupid.”

The 39-year-old was remanded in custody on Saturday while detectives probe his alleged use of a doctored Paraguayan passport.

He and his brother Roberto have been warned they face up to six months behind bars while the investigation continues.

Ronaldinho’s lawyers are lodging an appeal.
