One line on football icon Ronaldinho’s passport has cost him dearly as the price of being released from prison hit $2.6 million.

Judge Gustavo Amarilla told reporters that he had ordered the “continuation of house arrest in a hotel for Ronaldinho and his brother”. They were jailed exactly a month ago on Monday to await trial on charges of using false passports to enter Paraguay.

The judge’s ruling means the brothers can swap their grim police cell block — which also housed Paraguay’s former soccer federation chief and the ex-speaker of the lower house of parliament — for a plush Colonial-style hotel in central Asuncion. Paraguay’s appeals court last month rejected a request to release Ronaldinho and his brother, meaning the two-time world player of the year spent his 40th birthday behind bars.With Paraguay’s capital in lockdown due to the coronavirus pandemic, the judge communicated his ruling in a phone call to the brothers, with prosecutors and defence lawyers — and TV cameras — present.

However, shortly after their arrival, the brothers were taken into police custody when investigators raided their hotel following the discovery that their passports were fake.

NSW pledges $100m to support frontline health workers and $35m to research | Sky News AustraliaNew South Wales Premier Gladys Berejiklian has unveiled an additional $100 million to support frontline workers and $35 million to go towards vital research. \n\nNew South Wales will offer free accommodation and parking for health workers “so they don’t have to worry about taking the disease home and unintentionally passing it on to their loved ones”. \n\nPremier Berejiklian said the state committed $35 million toward vital research because “we want our best and brightest here in NSW and Australia working to find a vaccine as soon as possible, because the reality is, until we find a vaccine, we all have to live with this virus”. \n\n“We have to be honest with ourselves, until a vaccine is found, there is no simple way to deal with this issue… social distancing is the new normal,” she said on Tuesday. \n\nThe Premier said the NSW coronavirus death toll now stood at 21, after three more people succumbed to the virus on Monday. \n\nAmong them was a Ruby Princess passenger, a resident from Opal Care in Bankstown and a resident of the Dorothy Henderson Lodge in Macquarie Park. \n\nImage: News Corp Australia GladysB Sounds as if she has a bottomless money bucket?
