The FIGC Prosecutor has closed the first part of the investigation over Luis Suarez’s Italian citizenship exam without finding any proof of illegal conduct from Juventus, so the Bianconeri won’t be sanctioned, at least for now.
The Uruguay star was in talks to join Juventus in 2020, but his European passport, which is valid to play in La Liga, could not be used in Serie A, so the striker had to take an Italian citizenship test.
It had been alleged that Suarez had been given the questions in advance, but no evidence of unlawful conduct from Juventus was found in the subsequent sporting investigation.
Last year, Suarez revealed that had reached an agreement with the Bianconeri.
The Serie A giants dropped the striker only a few weeks before the beginning of the investigation from the Perugia Public Prosecutor, signing Alvaro Morata instead.
Suarez, 34, eventually joined Atletico Madrid on a €7m deal from Barcelona.
The FIGC Prosecutor has now announced that Juventus won’t be punished because ‘there has not been sufficient evidence of proven unlawful conduct relevant to the Federal Sports Order.’
Professors from the University of Perugia who allegedly pre-arranged the exam, revealing the questions to Suarez in advance, are still under investigation and the FIGC Prosecutor has specified that he is waiting for ‘further documents’ from the Public Prosecutor in Perugia regarding their investigation, which is still ongoing.
Juventus won’t be punished because ‘there has not been sufficient evidence of proven unlawful conduct relevant to the Federal Sports Order.’
Insufficient evidence has never stopped them before. It must therefore be safe to assume that there must be absolutely zero evidence
Moratti is not happy right now.
Inter potentially getting KOd by Liverpool is no concern of his, this is more important.
Another Juve witch hunt gone wrong 🤦🏻♂️
Bianconeri won’t be sanctioned “for now”?
Funny how they used illegal wiretaps, concocted evidence, created new major Article violations by combining minor violations to punish Juventus in 2006; so if there is any evidence, why not just use it and create a mountain of a molehill?
Remember, the Naples court in 2011 found Juventus not guilty of any of the federal charges from 2006, but since the statute of limitations had passed could not reverse the decisions from 2006.
As usual, building castles in the clouds by blowing smoke, and nothing has been achieved.
Kevin i agree with you but last sentence is wrong, actually a lot have been achieved since all of this damaged juventus directly or indirectly
@La Vecchia Ladrona fans. Just watch the episode of Netflix’s “Bad Sport” about Calciopoli.
Sadly, I watched. 200000 transcriptions, yet their bigest evidence is locking match official in the toilet, which is later denied by the guy itself in front of the law, and claimed as a joke by moggi.
Yeah, i forget to mention, 3 yellow cards for Bologna players, and making favorable match officials.. but as moggi said, 9 teams have been involved, in later transcriptions a lot more of them, but only one sporting director have been followed.
@Dmustac. Who uses burner phones?
@Loser Rossonero, ZERO TITULI every year must hit your brain really hard. lol Dude stop being an idiot for once like your cousins who completely ignoring the latest evidence that Milan and Inter were found guilty but the statute of limitations saves you and your cousin’s **s. Did we surprise? Nah… The wiretaps for the investigation were performed by Telecom Italia, which was run at the time by a man who had been on Inter’s Board of Directors for over 10 years and later went on to become president of Pirelli, Inter’s sponsor. Guido Rossi was appointed FIGC president to oversee the Calciopoli investigation and was given additional powers for the scandal, he was also a long-time board member for Inter. What about Milan’s owner : Berlusconi? Aah… A well known for his reputation as a cunning man who then has been suspected to hire a Chinese actor to buy his broken Milan 4x bigger than Milan’s original value at that time. tsk… Why should I bother writing this for the salty loser? (smh)
@vero rossonero the ones who think they are being followed/wiretaped.
I said it before on the 6ix yard box podcast, it’s a football culture. When you have outside agencies looking in, they act shocked but this is how the European football is. If you punish one you need to punish all. They can’t do that because football is too much of a revenue stream for local economies.
This is laughable! EVERYONE knows (someone from) Juventus arranged for Suarez to receive Italian citizenship!
The absolute worst is that now these idiotic fans are rubbing it in our faces.
You got a free pass, as you usually do; None of us expected that Juve would be found accountable, so we are not disappointed one bit…
But how dare you even comment on the Suarez case??! I’d love to put you hypocrites on a lying detector –Not a single clown amongst you believes Juve is innocent in this instance.
So have some decency & SHUT UP.
Enjoy your privileged corrupt favouritism in modesty!
I still can’t believe Juve was demoted in 2006. It was like a dream!
Had Courts used proper proceedings, (that FAVOUR the rich & the powerful), the Old Lady would not go down.
Once again, trial by media has failed. Win on the pitch instead of fondly remembering a one off treble followed by nearly a decade of inferiority. Keep sucking on those lemons.
@ROMANtic please go back to the Inter section. Stop pretending to a virtuous double agent.
One bullet dodged, 3-4 more to go
Some double agents like @ROMAntic need to go back to the Inter section where hardly anyone checks in. I think they only come here just to preach virtuosity. If you are a Juve fan sitting on the fence and blowing in any direction that will not lend you any favours.
How old is Obafemi Martins?
Pretty hard to get a fair hearing when Guido Rossi, Tronchetti Provera and co are all Inter fans and just happen to sit on the boards of major companies such as Telecom Italia.
@tony,
How dare you, sir, accuse me of being a Juventus fan??
–Why, I have never been more INSULTED in my entire life!!!😡
I am a Roma supporter 🐺, one that happens to be romantic ❤💛 & loves antics 🙃.
(…And apparently emojis! 😄)
Nowdays being a Roma fan is very bitter-sweet because that spoiled-crybaby Mou is our coach: If Roma wins, Mou wins. If Roma loses, so does Mou. –Always BITTER-SWEET, get it?
Could be worse, though…
At least I’m not a Bianconeri…🤔
(I honestly don’t have a zebra emoji; Only a black-&-white cow 🐄, panda 🐼, or a penguin, maybe? 🐧)
A Romanista talking about Fake passports. The Hypocrisy.
@J10B,
“Passaportopoli” was 22 years ago so I hope I remember it right:
Numerous Serie A teams were involved. To get their clients EU passports, PLAYERS’ AGENTS found them fake EU relatives. (Most notably, Recoba, Veron, Dida…)
Because of that scandal, Italy now double checks if players really are eligible for Italian citizenship.
Suarez was cought cheating on the exam. Juve lawyer chose this University for a reason!
You all KNOW Juventus is guilty now, just as I don’t believe for a second that Roma was unaware their two registered “water bearers” back in the late ’90s had fake passports.
Look what your buddies are writting above:
“Witch hunt.” “Trial by media.” “Insufficient evidence has never stopped them before.”
BLA BLA BLA
You dogged a bullet, just like Inter, Roma, Lazio, Milan, Udinese… did in 2000…
–So SHUT UP!!!
Just because these University professors are willing to go down without dragging Juve with them, doesn’t give you the right to sing praises of Juventus innocence.
(Suarez is crazy; Hopefully he splashes all his money in the near future & then gives an exclusive interview, explaining Juve’s involvement in this.😆)
