Ronaldinho likely to be released from custody on August 24

If Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina approves in this regard, the Primary and Mass Education Ministry will cancel this year's PSC and equivalent Ibtedayi Education Completion Test, and the Ministry of Education will cancel JSC and equivalent Junior Dakhil Certificate Exams, according to Ministry officials.

Pursuant to the plea deal, Ronaldinho has agreed to a fine of $90,000 and will report to a federal judge in Brazil every three months for two years. Assis has been forced to pay $110,000 and will not be allowed to leave Brazil for a two-year duration.

Ronaldinho and Assis have been detained since early March for allegedly entering South America with fake passports.

However, the pair had denied any wrongdoing.

Ronaldinho retired from soccer in 2018 after a career that included Gremio, Paris Saint-Germain, Barcelona, Milan and Atletico Mineiro, among other clubs. He was part of the Brazilian squad that won the 2002 World Cup and twice named FIFA World Player of the Year.
