14 ott 2023
Italian football is shaking, with the betting case destined to widen and involve other players and other clubs, after the involvement of Fagioli, Tonali and Zaniolo in the investigation that the Turin Prosecutor’s Office is carrying out on illegal betting platforms. Conversations with other colleagues emerged from the Juventus player’s phone. Fabrizio Corona named a fourth player, Zalewski of Rome. Below are all the live updates.
FAGIOLI’S DAD: “MY SON AN HONEST BOY”
“My son is an honest boy and a very good boy. What happened? I don’t know. It’s a difficult moment, try to understand.” Thus Marco Fagioli, father of Nicolò, the Juventus midfielder who was investigated for betting on illegal circuits, on Tg1.
GALLIANI: “I HOPE THEY ARE LIGHTNESS FROM THE KIDS”
“I don’t comment on things I don’t know and there are no charges yet. I don’t know Zaniolo personally, I know Tonali very well who is a fantastic boy, so I hope they are lightheartedness and venial sins and not mortal sins.” Thus the CEO of Monza Adriano Galliani on the sidelines of the national assembly of local authorities of Forza Italia in Monza, responding to reporters on what is emerging in the world of football on betting. “I believe that these bets are a problem for many young people, like drug and alcohol problems – he concluded – what I know is what I read in the newspapers but I believe it is childish carelessness. I hope so”.
CORONA: “STOP NEWS UNTIL TUESDAY”
Fabrizio Corona’s website, Dillinger News, “will no longer publish anything on the betting case until Tuesday evening”. The former king of the paparazzi himself communicated this via a post on his Instagram profile.
LOTITO: “I WAIT FOR THE CARDS” – Speaking on the sidelines of an event in Monza, Claudio Lotito, president of Lazio, had his say on the latest events relating to the recent football betting scandal: “It seems to me that this is news that has not yet been formally recognized as official – the words of the well-known entrepreneur -. I don’t know the details and I don’t know the situation. Let’s first see the cards, what we’re talking about, let’s see who it concerns. As regards Lazio, I have always fought for transparency, correctness and compliance with the rules. I don’t know if they are current events or previous events, we will evaluate at the appropriate time whether we will have the documents available.”
ABODI: “GRAVINA? MORE THAN RESIGNATION, THINK ABOUT LIMITING THE PROBLEM” – “I don’t know the reasons. Rather than thinking about someone’s resignation, I’m thinking about promoting activities that allow these things to be limited. Everyone measures themselves with their own conscience, the federation has promoted objective activities that make everyone face their own responsibilities. Then the federation also has room for improvement, there are sporting results which have a meaning but in my opinion confusion does not produce the effect we need to produce, which must also be that of dignified institutions which despite the difference in roles come together to face and solve problems, that’s what people ask of us.” Thus the Minister of Sport and Youth, Andrea Abodi, on the sidelines of the 38th conference of young industrialists in Capri, responding to a question on the request for the resignation of FIGC president Gabriele Gravina made by the League.
BEANS, MORE THAN A MILLION PLAYED – As the hours pass, new rumors continue to emerge. According to La Repubblica, Nicolò Fagioli would have played more than a million in the space of a few months. “And due to his exposure to bookies – we read verbatim in the newspaper – he had begun to bring in his footballer friends: he is the one who forwards the right contacts for bets on secure servers to Tonali and Zaniolo. The former Milan player thus opens an account on worldgame365.me while Zaniolo on Evoz9.fx-gaming.net”.
ZALEWSKI’S POSITION – The Roma winger discovered the news spread by Fabrizio Corona about him directly from the Poland Under 21 training camp. The 2002-born player said he was not involved in the matter, reports Il Messaggero, assuring that he had never bet in his life. Furthermore, the 21-year-old is seriously considering filing a lawsuit.
FAGIOLI READY TO DEAL – Nicolò Fagioli would be ready to negotiate to obtain a discount on the disqualification. This was reported by the Gazzetta dello Sport. The Juventus midfielder reported himself to the Federal Prosecutor’s Office regarding his involvement in the betting ring on illegal platforms.
DAD FAGIOLI: “WHERE ARE THE PROSECUTORS WHEN THEY ARE NEEDED?” – “I won’t say anything about what my son would have done. It’s not the time. A lot of what I read about him isn’t true, but if I tried to explain it now no one would listen to me. I haven’t seen him since Sunday. In hindsight , I can say that maybe something was bothering him, but I didn’t imagine anything like that.” Words from Nicolò Fagioli’s father to ‘Repubblica? “It would be useful for agents to warn young players about the risks they face. They should follow them and advise them, it would be valuable. They should help them understand what commitments they take on when they sign a contract. This way they would justify what they they earn.”
CORONA: “ANOTHER 10 PLAYERS AND 5 CLUBS INVOLVED” – “At least 10 other footballers, 5-6 agents are involved and there are also clandestine gambling dens.” Thus Fabrizio Corona to Corriere della Sera on the football betting case. According to Corona, the football teams involved would be “five, six”, but he does not name the clubs “otherwise I will be investigated”. On the information given to Niccolò Zaniolo and Sandro Tonali by the police in Coverciano, he states: “They would never have gone there if Dillinger hadn’t mentioned the names. They knew them but they would have waited for the Italy match. We are practically doing two investigations parallel. According to Corona, other national team players would be involved and “there are also the presidents. Do you know what the problem is? That these players are sick, gambling addiction is an addiction like coca, they are exploited by the system… first they play slots, blackjack, then gambling dens and become victims of the underworld. I know about these but there will be many others, let’s not even talk about B.”
