Controversy: The Perugia prosecutor's office investigates Luis Suárez for falsifying his exam for Italian citizenship
Analysis.Luis Suárez, Simeone's solution to Atlético's problems against goal
Luis Suárez and his famous Italian exam were widely spoken at the
University for Foreigners in Perugia
.
So much so that, five days before the test, a university professor joked (albeit with the premise "getting serious ...") with his colleague
Stefania Spina
: "You have a great responsibility, as they suspend us they make a terrorist attack".
And she answered, sure: "But how are we going to suspend him!"
To avoid any risk they had prepared everything, as Spina confessed in the same dialogue intercepted by the investigators of the
Guardia di Finanza
, the Italian military force dependent on the
Ministry of the Economy
to investigate financial crimes: "Today I called
Lorenzo Rocca
, who She has prepared for the exam, and we have almost agreed what she will do on the exam! She has told me, look, to choose these two images and so on. "
"Giving two hours of class to a person who does not speak a word is not easy"
But
Luis Suárez
, an uncomfortable center forward for any defender in the world, has also proven to be a tough nut to crack for Italian teachers.
Professor Spina, who was doing an intensive
online
course
with the Uruguayan aspiring citizen of the
European Union
, unburdened himself with another interlocutor on the morning of September 15, two days before the exam: "So today I have the last class and I have it to prepare because he does not speak a word ... And giving two hours of class with someone like that is not easy, but well, apart from that ... ".
The other asks: "And what level would this boy have to pass?
B1
?"
The teacher's categorical response: "Eeee, she shouldn't, she has to has to. She'll pass, because you're not going to screw up salary the season because she doesn't have the B1."
Level B1 of the
Common European Framework of Reference
is the defined "intermediate or 'limit'" level of knowledge of the Italian language, necessary to obtain citizenship.
"The B1, B1, citizenship", insists Spina, who nevertheless admits: "He considers that it is a total A1 [the basic level, lower than the" basic "], it is that he knows neither ... he does not know how to conjugate verbs".
The interlocutor laughs, comments that "there is no hope", and the teacher also laughs: "He speaks in the infinitive ...".
But then he adds: "Well, anyway these are things that it is clear that ... what are you going to do, you stop it for the B1 of citizenship? I mean, it's funny, right?"
The top management of the university, involved
Not only the teacher in charge of the intensive course was convinced that she could not reject Suárez and block her commitment to
Juventus
.
According to the magistrates, the decision to organize a "sham exam" was taken by "the top management of the university."
And between the tests there is another conversation intercepted before the exam, this time between the rector
Guliana Greco Bolli
and the person in charge of the
Center for linguistic assessment and certification
of the University.
Rocca: "Well, now he's memorizing the different parts of the exam a bit."
Greco Bolli: "Hey, that's it. You have to get back on track ...".
Rocca: "Exactly, exactly, we've got it right."
Greco Bolli: "And it has to be in that lane!"
Rocca reassures the rector - "in that lane" - but then confesses a concern: "I have no problem signing the minutes, because I am on the committee and I take responsibility for the attribution of the score. My fear is ... is that then pulling, pulling, we give him the level and he
comes out, the journalists ask him two questions in Italian, and give this man something
. So I have a bit of concern because it is hard to peel ".
Agreed questions, silence out
Perhaps that is why, last Thursday, Suárez entered and left the university escorted to avoid any questions from those who were waiting outside, and without saying a word.
Inside, on the other hand, during the exam (videotaped) he had made an effort to answer as best as possible the questions that had been previously agreed upon.
First they asked the center forward to introduce himself: name, age, profession, etc.
After he described a couple of images that showed him (and which are suspected to be the agreed ones, according to Spina): a husband and a wife shop at the supermarket, they are asked to name the fruits and vegetables displayed on the shelves in Italian , and a mother who helps her son with homework.
To demonstrate that he could "move easily in situations that may arise while traveling through the country whose language he speaks", as required by the B1 level assignment protocol, Suárez was also asked to have a brief conversation with a neighbor: ask where he could go on a Sunday trip and develop the differences of the Italian and Uruguayan families.
All in ten or twelve minutes, Rocca said in a radio interview in which the examiner also affirmed that the conversation test had gone well: "We cannot know if Suárez is ready, I think so. He understood everything and not he had problems in the listening test, I suppose he had taken intensive Italian courses ".
But from another
tapped
call between Rocca and the employee
Cinzia Camagna,
it appears that two days before the exam they had already agreed on the grade they would put on the player.
Camagna: "I have it prepared ... but I have to wait for the record, once I enter I can put the notes.
Tell me what note to put and that's it
."
Rocca: «Good.
Set the minimum, huh? "
Camagna: "3, 3, 3, 3, 3".
Rocca: "Good, perfect!"
Camagna: "It is the minimum, 3".
Rocca: "Yes, yes, put a 3. Because yesterday I was talking with the rector and that is the plan!"
