Claudio Nunes

Claudio Nunes (born 23 March 1968)[1] is an Italian professional bridge player.

[citation needed] His regular partner for many years is Fulvio Fantoni, the first-ranked World Grand Master (April 2011).

Starting in 2011, Fantoni and Nunes were full-time members of a team led and paid by the Swiss real-estate tycoon Pierre Zimmermann, under contract expiring 2016.

In September 2015, Fantoni and Nunes were publicly accused of cheating by orienting a played card to show a missing high honour (Ace, King, Queen) in the led suit at the European Bridge Championship in 2014.

The players' appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport resulted in a judgment in their favor in January 2018.
