Italian authorities are investigating Luis Suárez’s Italian exam after discovering that the Uruguayan knew the questions beforehand.
The Barcelona forward seemed ready to switch to Juventus, but since the Bianconeri have already exhausted all their places outside the EU, he needed to obtain an Italian passport to complete the move.
Suárez flew to Perugia last week and completed his test in less than an hour, a detail that raised suspicions among the Guardia di Finanza given that the B1 language test takes more than an hour to complete.
Reports suggest that Suarez was given the questions ahead of time to pass the test.
Since then, the Guardia di Finanza and the Prosecutor’s Office of Perugia have discovered the irregularities, and the Guardia colonel Selvaggio Sarri has led the investigation.
“A Serie A club asked Suárez to take the exam,” Sarri told Radio Punto Nuovo.
“Juventus had the intention of registering the player and the University was open to administer the exam. The problems started when they ran into someone who did not know Italian.
“Formally, he received an intermediate level diploma, but we found that everything was predetermined.
“There was no external pressure and Juventus is not currently under investigation, but we will see what comes up. It was those who worked at the University of Perugia who were surprised.
“The player is not at risk. This kind of thing is just about civil servants not doing their job. “
Suarez was eligible for an Italian passport because his wife is of Italian descent.
The position that Suarez accused of cheating in the Italian test first appeared on Forza Italian Football.
