The Perugia prosecutor’s office suspended four university officials for alleged irregularities in Luis Suárez’s citizenship test for his proposed move to Juventus earlier this year.
The Uruguayan forward underwent a ‘B1’ Italian language test in September to obtain residency, meaning Juventus didn’t have too many non-EU players on their squad, but the 33-year-old has been accused of cheat on the exam.
Suárez took the test at the University of Perugia and it was revealed on Friday that the institution’s rector Giuliana Grego, executive director Simone Olivieri, Suárez’s Italian professor Stefania Spina and her fellow tutor Lorenzo Rocca have been suspended for eight months in middle of an ongoing investigation.
A statement from the Public Prosecutor’s Office indicated that the suspension surrounded “the crime of disclosure of professional secrecy for improper profit and multiple ideological falsehoods in public events.”
The Prosecutor’s Office also affirmed that Juventus was involved “even at the highest institutional levels to initiate the acceleration of the identification of the proof of citizenship of Luis Suárez.”
The bureau also maintained that investigations into the scandal are still ongoing, but that they were looking for other possible implications outside of the university, including the Series A champions.
The Perugia office confirmed that ‘the content of the test had been previously communicated to the player, in order to arrive at a predetermined result and examination score to meet the requests that Juventus had made with the aim of achieving an image return. positive, both personally and for the University. ‘
Suárez can qualify for residency thanks to his Italian wife, but it turned out that the footballer spoke very little Italian and could not pass the language test.
