in #gjdkhls10 months ago

Brazilian soccer star Ronaldinho Gaucho, who has earned a reputation as one of the world's most glamorous players, could be arrested in Brazil in a fraud investigation.

Federal police announced Wednesday that Ronaldinho's former teammate at Atlético Mineiro, Romulo Luis Camargo, has been arrested on charges of cryptocurrency-related fraud and money laundering.

The UOL website reported that Camargo is believed to be involved in running an online platform for buying and selling cryptocurrencies through WhatsApp messages.

Ronaldinho's lawyer said he was unaware of Camargo's arrest and declined to comment further.

If convicted, Camargo could face up to 10 years in prison for each charge. He is scheduled to appear before a judge on Tuesday afternoon.
