An inquiry held by the Prime Minister of East Timor in 2016, heard that Celio Santos was one of seven Brazilian men's footballers to receive falsified baptism documents from Timor's Catholic Church, in order to make it appear he was eligible for Timorese nationality.[1]
It is unclear when Célio Santos received his Timorese passport, which he received despite having no known means of eligibility, such as a family connection, or residency.[2]
