“He doesn't know how to conjugate verbs, he speaks in the infinitive.

The telephone tapping is particularly tasty in the case of the Italian naturalization of Luis Suarez.

The Uruguayan international striker is suspected of having cheated, with the help of his teachers, to take an Italian exam last week, a statement from the Perugia prosecutor's office said on Tuesday, which opened an investigation.

This diploma was a first step in obtaining an Italian passport, an essential document before a possible transfer from FC Barcelona to Juventus Turin, an operation that has since been abandoned.

"The investigation showed that the subjects discussed during the examination were agreed beforehand with the candidate and that the mark was awarded to him even before the examination", specifies the prosecution.

The prosecutor of this public prosecutor's office, Raffaele Cantone, former head of the Italian National Anti-Corruption Authority, had been carrying out an investigation since last February for various irregularities against the leaders of the University for foreigners and would have discovered the pot aux roses concerning Suarez thanks to to orderly eavesdropping much earlier.

Obtaining an Italian passport would have allowed Suarez not to occupy a place of non-EU player within the workforce of Juventus, thus facilitating the operation.

The Uruguayan striker (33), who arrived at Barça in 2014, is leaving the Catalan club after the appointment of a new coach, the Dutchman Ronald Koeman, who said he was not counting on him for the 2020-2021 season .

The player is said to be close to signing for Atlético de Madrid today.
