Football legend being dragged through the courts in Brazil amid claims his charitable foundation owes fines for breaking environmental rules and has been banned from leaving Brazil by a judge.

The ex-Barcelona is scheduled to appear at the Dubai International Sports Conference this week.

But the 38-year-old has been barred from making the trip to the United Arab Emirates by a court in South America.

Brazilian judge Newton Fabricio demanded that Ronaldinho and his brother Assis Moreira have their passports taken off them by authorities.

The seizure order was made to guarantee the payment of a £1.75million fine imposed on the pair for breaking environmental construction regulations four years ago.

They were prosecuted for causing damage to the environment in the building of the Ronaldinho Gaucho Institute in the Brazilian city of Porto Alegre.

The charity helps work with young and impoverished people in the city and has been lauded for its work.
But authorities are still demanding the fine be paid, and prosecutors say Ronaldinho and his brother have been impossible to pin down over the money.

When the judge first ordered the passports should be seized in November, Ronaldinho was out of Brazil.
And he continued travelling around the world before eventually returning to his home country for the Christmas period.

Ronaldinho broke many ankles during his playing days so he should be allowed to break the law.

The judge behind this evil act should be banned from watching football for the rest of his/her miserable life.

You really know so much about spending.....Where is ur Mansion and Cars

Football misses you, Ronaldinho. Ronaldo and co have made football so boring to watch. We now watch football by looking at livescore because it's now all about just scoring goals without more. No ankle-breaking, collapsing dribble that tore defenders' trunks. No more drunk snake bite that left the defenders dizzy. No more wizardry nutmegging that shook defenders legs terribly. No more visible fear seen written on retreating defenders' faces when they see you charging at them with the ball like you were Anthony Joshua with the punch-drunk blows. Those days we ran to viewing centre just to laugh at terrified defenders being disgraced by Dilno.

Your spell was just too short. You were not discipline like the likes of Ronaldo and Messi. Too much clubbing. If you were disciplined, they would have renamed the worldbest award after you as you would have won it 10 tiimes. So sad that the indiscipline that cut short a good career got to your finance as well.

He's made the country proud in his prime, so they should allow him enjoy some privileges... People around the world know about Brazil because of the stars from there...

Ronaldinho remains the number player I admire in the world.

Nothing to say

Oringo go finally kill this one....

Married two women on same day abi

He is broke? How can he be broke?

You claim he is broke, yet you are imposing a £1.75million fine on him!

Kilode!
