[7] In September 2020, Luis Suarez took a language exam at the University for Foreigners of Perugia to obtain Italian citizenship, which was linked to a potential transfer to Juventus.

An investigation ensued, and prosecutors initially accused Maria Turco, Juventus's lawyer, of being complicit in the alleged scheme.

Instead, the court found that university officials, including the former rector and other staff members, had falsified exam procedures to create a favorable environment for Suarez.

As a result, the charges against Turco were dismissed, and the investigation ultimately confirmed that Juventus had no involvement in the fraudulent exam scheme.
