In September 2000, Udinese traveled to Poland for the UEFA Cup match against Polonia Warsaw. But Polish officials discovered that the Portuguese passport of Warley and Alberto were fake. Later Jorginho's fake passport were also discovered . Warley and Jorginho were immediately transferred back to Brazil for Copa João Havelange, where Jorginho Paulista won the champion along with former Brazilian internationals Jorginho.

In June 2001, he was banned for 1 year for Italian football along with team-mate Warley, Alejandro Da Silva and Alberto, and 9 other players were also banned from 6 months to 1 year. He was then loaned to Boca Juniors. In early 2002 he left for Cruzeiro to play as the backup of Juan Pablo Sorín.
