Juventus starlet Nicolo Fagioli is allegedly facing a 7-month ban for betting on illicit networks. The Turin Prosecutor’s Office approved the decision after finding strong evidence against the charge. However, the Serie A club is yet to express their choice and point of view on the topic.
After being found guilty of suspected activity on unlicensed online gambling sites, Fagioli reported himself to the sports judicial system. Investigators uncovered Fagioli’s identity while looking into transactions of gambling websites operating without a licence. Such crimes generally result in a fine, however because Nicolo Fagioli is a professional athlete who belongs to a federation.
Sandro Tonali’s representative has also stated that the player is suffering from a gambling addiction in the aftermath of the shocking betting charges. Despite knowing that it may result in a three-year suspension. Newcastle United’s £60 million summer transfer from AC Milan, as well as fellow Italian international Nicolo Zaniolo, were both formally investigated.
Juventus will be concerned by the news, considering they are already missing midfielder Paul Pogba. After testing positive for a prohibited drug, he faces a lengthy suspension. Fagioli has been a fixture for Allegri’s club this season, appearing in six Serie A matches and earning an Italy cap.
