A former Barça player accused of identity theft in Romania

Unusual! The exjugador of the FC Barcelona, Edgar Ié, finds in the middle of an extremely controversial situation in the football Romanian with the Dínamo of Bucharest, combined to the that joined like free agent the past month of February, after his go through the İstanbul Başakşehir of Turkey. In Romania, there is a debate in course on if the footballer is really he or if it treats of his brother twin, Edelino Ié, the one who at present is without team after finalising his adventure in the Tluchovia of Poland.

Why it arose the doubt on if Edgar Ié was suplantado by his twin?

Everything began when the journalist Daniel Sendre began to question the veracity of the identity of the player, posing doubts on if really it was the one who said to be. The main reason of this was that to the footballer only saw him speak Portuguese and no English. At first sight, this does not seem odd, since Edgar Ié is of nationality lusa and the Portuguese is his native language.

However, it results striking considering that the defender has had experiences in countries like Spain, Italy, France, Holland and Turkey, by what would expect that at least it had a basic knowledge of the English. This would be more comprehensible in the case of his twin, the one who has not had a lot of experiences out of Portugal.

The suspicions on this case grew even more when the Dínamo of Bucharest, proprietary club of his agreement, asked him to the player that presented his carnet to drive to deliver him a car courtesy of the sponsor of the team, and he denied categorically. Likewise, it does not observe the scar that would have to have in his right knee, which is quite curious considering that it subjected to a surgery to repair a break of ligament crossed in 2022.

The consequences that could suffer the Dínamo if it confirms this presumptive fraud

In front of this situation, the club Romanian would be considering make a proof of DNA to the player to confirm his identity. If it confirms that the footballer is not the one who asevera be, this could involve serious consequences for the Dínamo of Bucharest, such as it expressed it recently a member of the Federation Rumana of Football to 'IAMsport', being the most significant the loss of points in the table clasificatoria, something that would be hurtful for the 'Red Dogs', those who at present are extremely near of the places of descent in the local tournament.

"We do not have any planned stage. If the player is not the true that fichó the Dinamo, could have sanctions. Legally, a proof of DNA can decide if truly it treats of Edgar Ié or of his twin Edelino. It remains clear that the Dínamo did not have the intention to deceive to the Federation and also was deceived. If the result of the DNA confirms that it is his brother twin, will have to do it know, since they can lose points in the table. It will be necessary to consider the possibility, but if the Dínamo shows that it was deceived, the risk to lose points will not exist", like this expressed it a member of the Federation Rumana of Football.

Edgar Ié 'broke' the silence after this controversy

By his part, the footballer has gone out in his defence and has denied categorically these indictments through the pódcast of Twitch of the journalist Gerard Romero, 'Jijantes', leaving clear his total disagreement with this controversy that has generated around his person: "The news is false, I never would do something like this", sentenced.
