Dictate the line. And it confirms the promise received by the lawyer María Turco, who works in the office of Luigi Chiappero, who has been a lawyer for the Juventus club for years: if the Suárez issue is resolved, a lasting collaboration will be established. The utility that triggered the controls for the crime of corruption for which Olivieri himself and the rector Giuliana Grego Bolli are being investigated, in addition to the falsification also contested by the two teachers Stefania Spina and Lorenzo Rocca. The telephone and environmental interceptions reconstruct what happened in the days leading up to September 17, when the player arrives in the Umbrian capital to take the test and after 12 minutes he leaves with the certificate, but not before taking some photos with the group of teachers.
“We did not pass for mercenaries”
The talks reveal the rush of the university’s top management to satisfy the requests of Juventus officials. The first to call is sports director Fabio Cherubini.

“We take advantage of Covid”
In reality, everyone seems to be aware from the beginning that the exam will be a sham, so much so that Rocca at one point worries: “We will not be able to make irregularities on irregularities.” But he also finds the solution: “We can take advantage of ‘this Covid thing that the public cannot enter”, suggesting that in the presence of witnesses it would be impossible to make the exam last 12 minutes by asking only the agreed questions that the player has already learned . from memory. A circumstance confirmed by the Guardia di Finanza that seized the PDF sent by Professor Stefania Spina, who had prepared Suárez, right in Rocca. In the end, the exam is held on September 17 in the rectory, but it is almost a formality. Both with the post Covid rules only with the oral one ”, confirms Rocca.
