ASUNCION - Former Brazil player Ronaldinho Gaucho, who was arrested for possessing a fake Paraguayan passport, must remain in jail in the South American country after a judge on Tuesday refused a request for him to be released into house arrest.

Brazilians do not need a passport to enter Paraguay, so it was unclear why Ronaldinho had the fake documents in his possession. The brothers offered a US$770,000 property as a guarantee but prosecutor Marcelo Pecchi argued they were a flight risk.
