How the substitution of Edgar Ie was exposed
Journalists point out that at first there was no hint of a scam at the club. But then they were surprised that the player spoke only Portuguese, although Edgar Ye played in Spain, France, the Netherlands and Turkey.
Dynamo also asked the football player to show his driver’s license, but Ye refused.
If it is officially confirmed that his twin brother Edelino played instead of Edgar, Dinamo Bucharest may lose 8 points earned in the five matches that Edelino played instead of Edgar.
As of now, Edgar Yee has responded to information about a possible scam with only two laughter emojis on his page on the social network Instagram.
