The Italian Football Federation opened an investigation this summer targeting Juventus midfielder Nicolo Fagioli. The 21-year-old Italian is suspected of having made sports bets using several profiles on illegal platforms.
The Italian Football Federation (FIGC) opened an investigation in August to determine whether Nicolo Fagioli, Juventus midfielder, made sports bets, it told AFP this Wednesday, confirming information from the Italian press. Juve’s great hope, the 21-year-old player, selected once for the Italian team, is suspected of having used several different profiles to make bets on clandestine platforms.
If the violation of article 24 of the FIGC sports justice code, which prohibits a professional player from betting on football, is proven, Fagioli, who played six matches this season with Juventus (an assist ), is punishable by a three-year suspension and a fine of 25,000 euros. Contacted by AFP, Juventus did not wish to comment.
Pogba suspended for positive testosterone test
The most successful club in Italian football experienced a 2022-23 season polluted by extra-sporting affairs, in particular an accounting fraud scandal which earned it a deduction of seven points in the Italian championship standings.
The Piedmontese club, currently 3rd in Serie A, is deprived of French international Paul Pogba, suspended since September 11 after having a positive doping test for testosterone, confirmed by the second opinion requested by the player. The 2018 world champion, aged 30, is liable to a four-year suspension, which could be reduced to two years if non-intentionality is proven.
