Luis Suarez Italian citizenship, announced on Tuesday

 Luis Suarez Italian citizenship,  announced on Tuesday.

Luis Suarez's Italian citizenship exam is under investigation from prosecutors amid irregularities, it was announced on Tuesday.

The Barcelona forward, who himself is not under investigation, underwent a citizenship test at the University For Foreigners in Perugia on Sept. 17.

During an investigation into wrongdoing at the university, irregularities with Suarez's test emerged.

A statement from the Perugia Prosecutor's office said it appears information about the test was given to the candidate before the exam, while a final result was attributed before completion.

"During the investigation undertaken by the Perugia financial police corps into various and accrued issues with regards to the Perugia University for Foreigners, which been ongoing since February 2020, irregularities in the Italian language certificate test undertaken on this Sept. 17 by Uruguayan footballer Luis Alberto Suarez Diaz, necessary to obtain Italian citizenship, have emerged," the statement by Perugia prosecutor Raffaele Cantone read.

"The investigation has shown that the topics covered in the test were previously agreed and that the relevant score was agreed before the test had taken place. This, despite the fact that during the course of distance learning with university professors, he had only displayed a basic understanding of the Italian language.

"Today, members of the financial police are acquiring university office documents for further information on the above described as well as a warrant for information of false certification offences committed by a public official."

Suarez had been told to look for a new club this summer after Barcelona appointed Ronald Koeman as their new manager.

Sources told ESPN earlier this that the ex-Liverpool forward had agreed a move to Juventus but required Italian citizenship in order for the transfer to go through due to his non-EU status. However, the transfer appeared to have broken down before he took exam and Juve boss Andrea Pirlo said two days after that Suarez was unlikely to join the Italian champions.

Jacinda Ardern social distancing, mob of fans on the campaign trail.

Jacinda Ardern social distancing, mob of fans on the campaign trail. New Zealand’s Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has landed herself in hot water after she abandoned social distancing to take a selfie with a mob of fans on the campaign trail. Ms Ardern was at Massey University in Palmerston North last week as she campaigns as Labour leader for the upcoming election. New Zealanders will be heading to the polls on October 17 this year, after an outbreak of  coronavirus  in the country led to the government delaying the election by just under a month. The selfie included at least 17 people including Ms Ardern, none of whom were wearing masks. Under current restrictions, New Zealanders are supposed to keep two metres distance to stop the spread of COVID-19. But Ms Ardern was mobbed by supporters while leaving the university, and after reportedly asking for space, she acquiesced and took the selfie with the group. Ms Ardern  has now apologised for the selfie, saying “it wa...
