Captain of the Swiss selection and midfielder of Sunderland, Granit Xhaka (33 years old) is a Premier League reference and an accomplished player with the Nati. However, if he is rather exemplary on the field, off it is a little less the case. Indeed, he is in the sights of the Swiss authorities for having obtained false Covid certificates as reported Blick.
The Lucerne public prosecutor’s office has launched an investigation and the player must be heard by the authorities at the beginning of October. Benefiting from the presumption of innocence, he risks up to 5 years in prison: “I have no comment to make on this subject. I played football today. And that’s what matters to me right now. No way. I’ve had worse.”
