The controversy surrounding Luiz Suárez’s Italian exam in Italy returns to the news, after the Perugia Public Prosecutor’s Office – where the Uruguayan went to take a nationality exam – concluded that the local University had set up a «farce to try to get the Italian title B1 », necessary for obtaining citizenship.
The investigation also involves Juventus, as it was taken for granted, as had already been revealed in September, that the content of the test was shared in advance «to respond to Juventus demands and with the objective of obtaining image advantages for the University ».
The club where Cristiano Ronaldo works no longer had vacancies for ex-community members and was trying to obtain citizenship for the player in order to be able to enroll him.
The Italian financial police have now suspended Dean Giuliana Grego, director Simone Olivieri and the teachers present at the examination, Stefania Spina and Lorenzo Rocca, for eight months, accused of “disclosure of professional secrecy for asset gain and documentary falsehood”. The investigation will continue.
«We know that the content of the test was communicated to the player in advance to arrive at a predetermined result and to meet the request made by Juventus. It was also possible to find out how, in the first days of September, the club directors got involved, at the highest institutional level, to accelerate the process. This suggests new hypotheses of crime against elements other than those of the University, still under investigation », it is said.
