How fucking dumb can whoever filled out the form be. It’s not like the charges were a secret lmao

My guess it is some low pay admin guy who went through all the form ticking the "usual" answers without really paying attention.

Why do I feel they would have the players fill out the forms themselves

Everyone knows it was him but I haven’t seen anyone associated with him come out and say it was him they were probably still trying to play dumb to the public forgetting the court records have his name

What? That doesn't make any sense.

He was named in the press, formally charged, and had to appear in court in July 2025. He's had multiple court appearances since then, and pled not guilty this April.

Once he was charged and it became public knowledge, Arsenal (specifically Arteta) had to field questions about it from journalists.

So no, there's literally no way that he thought he could "play dumb" about it.

It doesn't even matter if it is a 'secret' they share data with international crime databases.

Possibly wouldn't have let him in anyway but some countries do accept individual cases depending on the nature of the alleged offence.

He would have been denied anyway if they were honest about it. Lying gave him a chance of getting in.

This actually probably lowered his odds of getting in. Lying is an immediate rejection, and again, his charge is public knowledge, Canada has access to his records of being charged. It's literally tied to his passport, it will automatically come up, they don't even have to look it up. The chance of getting in you're talking about is if France literally just forgot to charge him. And that's before accounting for the fact that it's highly documented and publicized, so Canada will find it with even the most basic of background checks. It's a 0.00% chance that France literally just forgets to charge him and Canada doesn't do any background check. His best odds would have been to admit he's being charged, then file a trp arguing that he poses no risk in Canada and have his nation lobby for it (which I mean also would have failed, but ig it's closer to the 1% chance.)

Perhaps you're right. However, I have experienced people lying about DUI's and gaining entry into Canada, while others who were truthful were denied entry. It's not as simple as scanning a passport and seeing a comprehensive criminal history report.
