Ronaldinho and his brother were arrested in March for allegedly trying to enter Paraguay with fake passports.

The former Barcelona superstar was warned he could spend up to six months behind bars.

But he has been allowed to leave the jail after just 32 days following a sentencing review hearing on Tuesday.

He was a picture of happiness as he rocked up to the Hotel Palmaroga in Paraguay’s capital city of Asuncoin.

Ronaldinho hugged his family and friends as officers guided him through the crowds towards the hotel reception.

The 40-year-old and his brother will remain under house arrest at the five-star complex that has a swimming pool, gym and sun terrace.

He left jail at around 7:30pm on Tuesday after a judge confirmed via video call that they were free to do so.

Incredible footage shows the moment Ronaldinho found out that his time behind bars had come to an end.

During his stint in jail, Ronaldinho lost a doubles game of footvolley to a convicted murder and a robber.

He scored five goals and made six assists after being convinced to play in the prison futsal tournament.

And he was given a cake by his cell mates as he celebrated his 40th birthday behind bars.Ronaldinho and his brother paid out £1.3million in bailRonaldinho has been placed under house arrest in ParaguayRonaldinho released from prison and placed under house arrest after paying £1.3m bond for fake passport scandal
