In March, Ronaldinho and Roberto de Assis were charged with trying to fly into Paraguay from Brazil while possessing fraudulent documents.
The pair spent 32 days in prison before being moved to house arrest after forking out a £1.3million bond.
However he must remain under lock and key at the four-star Hotel Palmaroga in Asuncion after Globo reported of an appeal being rejected by the Paraguayan courts.
Although reportedly given a presidential suite and room to play football in, he has complained of the miserable time spent under house arrest.
The Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain legend described his stay so far as “long” with no end appearing to be in sight.
He told Mundo Deportivo in June: “Here at the Palmaroga Hotel we have excellent treatment.
“We have everything well ordered, we are very calm and they do anything to pass time in the most pleasant way possible.
“It has been sixty long days.

“People in their homes must imagine what it must be like not being to do what you are used to.
“I think that is something will remain forever to all us after living this complicated experience.”
Ronaldinho denies any wrongdoing and said in April that he was “totally stunned” when told the documents were thought to be fraudulent.
