Roberto Carlos is imprisoned

Rio de Janeiro's justice department has ordered former Brazilian soccer player Roberto Carlos to be jailed for three months for failing to pay custody of his two children.

The 44-year-old owes $20 to his ex-wife, Barbara Thurler, but had reported financial problems as an excuse for not paying them, reports kp.

Considered one of the best defenders in history, Carlos became a father for the 9th time in July.

Carlos is currently the ambassador of Real Madrid, in Asia and Oceania.
