Ronaldo de Assis Moreira, dit Ronaldinho, “is free to travel to the country of the world that he (his) will please, but he will have to let know if he changes his permanent address“for a period of one year, said the magistrate during the hearing.

Ronaldinho is not subject to any restriction, except that of the repair of damages to the company“, added the magistrate.

Wearing a black beret, wearing a shirt of the same color and jeans, the former player told the judge “accept“the prosecution’s proposal for a”conditional stay of proceedings“since the envisaged sanction does not exceed two years. The public prosecutor asked for the payment by Ronaldinho of a fine of 76,000 euros for”damage to society“.
