Ronaldinho was said to have paid a staggering $1.6 million to bail himself and his brother as reported by Spanish news outlet Marca.
They are now out of the highly secured jail and are moved to a luxury four-star hotel pending the time investigations are concluded.
The legend will continue to stay at the Palmaroga hotel in the Paraguayan capital of Asuncion.

Ronaldinho is facing six months in prison after he was arrested and charged to court when he made attempt to enter Paraguay with a fake passport.
But Ronaldinho and his brother claim they were tricked in using the passports.

The 40-year-old Brazilian was partnered with one of the prison workers for the encounters which they lost after his magic touches failed to come to his rescue.
According to SunSport, the former AC Milan star and his teammate were beaten by a team of ex-force-men, who were disgraced out of service.
This defeat was, however, the first Ronaldinho would encounter since he became an inmate of the Paraguayan prison in Asuncion.
