Media report: Granit Xhaka is being investigated Covid it's about a Covid certificate

Swiss football player Granit Xhaka is under investigation by the Lucerne prosecutor's office over allegations he obtained a forged COVID certificate. According to reports, Xhaka allegedly received a false vaccination confirmation despite never having been vaccinated against COVID-19. The investigation involves his doctor as well, and authorities are examining whether any criminal acts occurred related to the creation or use of a fraudulent document. Xhaka maintains his innocence and is currently presumed innocent until proven otherwise. The case dates back to early 2021, when Xhaka tested positive for COVID-19 before a friendly match against Greece and missed the game. He claims he was vaccinated twice, in January and November 2022, according to a statement from his representative. The Swiss Football Association has not commented on the matter due to lack of reliable information. Meanwhile, the doctor involved in the case asserts that all procedures were conducted properly and that Xhaka was indeed vaccinated.
