Giuliana Grego Bolli, the dean of
Perugia's University for Foreigners, has been suspended from
office for eight months in relation to an alleged fixed
Italian-language exam Uruguay forward Luis Suarez took at the
university earlier this year.
The exam was allegedly rigged, with Suarez getting the details
of what he would be asked beforehand, in view of an application
for Italian citizenship related to a move from Barcelona to
Juventus that fell thought, with the player joining Atletico
Madrid instead.
The university's general manager and two teachers have also been
suspended.
The suspensions came into force after Perugia prosecutors said
in a statement that subsequent investigations had supported the
allegations of wrongdoing that led to a probe being opened.
Juventus officials allegedly took action to try to "accelerate"
the process of Suarez getting Italian citizenship, the statement
said.
