(CNN) Barcelona star Luis Suarez has been accused of passing a rigged Italian language exam amid a potential move to Juventus, according to Italian prosecutors. Uruguayan international Suarez underwent a language test on September 17 at the University for Foreigners of Perugia where he was examined by two teachers in both oral and written production and comprehension. The university rector later announced that Suarez had passed and obtained a B1 level linguistic certificate of knowledge of the Italian language. By Suarez gaining Italian citizenship, Juventus could sign him without exceeding its permitted quota of non-EU players. However, following Suarez's test, five employees of the University for Foreigners of Perugia have been placed under investigation, a prosecutor's document shows.
