An investigation has been opened against Nicolo Fagioli, suspected of having taken part in disputed sports betting.
The Italian Football Federation (FIGC) opened an investigation in August to determine whether Juventus Turin player Nicolo Fagioli made sports bets, it told AFP, confirming information from the Italian press on Wednesday . Juve’s great hope, Fagioli, 21 years old and selected once for the Italy team, is suspected of having used several different profiles to make bets on clandestine platforms.
Punishable by a three-year suspension
If the violation of article 24 of the FIGC sports justice code, which prohibits a professional player from betting on football, is proven, he is liable to a three-year suspension and a fine of 25,000 euros. Contacted by AFP, Juventus did not wish to comment.
Fagioli has made six appearances this season for Juve. 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. Juventus are currently third in Serie A.
