Gutierrez In Passport Probe!

Last updated : 20 July 2008 By Footy Mad - Editor
The 24-year-old is keeping an eye on developments in his homeland as authorities in Buenos Aires continue a probe into Argentinian footballers using alleged false European passports.
A judge is studying the details of 22 players who have arrived in Spain from Argentina in recent years, with a particular emphasis on those carrying Italian passports.

This is a situation Nobby Solano went through during his first spell at Newcastle, a probe into his alleged "dodgy" passport that could not be proven.

Gutierrez has also made a complaint with FIFA against former club Real Mallorca.

The winger hopes to be paid wages he claims to be owed by the Balearic club, insisting he was not paid by Mallorca during May and June.

However, Mallorca are demanding £8 million in compensation, alleging Gutierrez broke his contract with them illegally.
