It should be noted that last year in July, Ronaldinho who represented the five-time FIFA World Cup-winning football team, reportedly had his Brazilian and Spanish passports confiscated over unpaid taxes as well as non-payment of fines for illegally building on a nature reserve in the South American country, Brazil.
