Fagioli reveals when Tonali told him about illegal betting app

 

 

During an interrogation with the FIGC Prosecutor last month, Juventus midfielder Nicolò Fagioli revealed that Sandro Tonali had explained to him how to use an app for illegal betting while on international duty with Italy U21 in 2021. .............

 

 

Fagioli said it happened in 2021 while they were on international duty with Italy U21. “I watched him [Tonali] play and asked him what he was doing,” said Fagioli.

 

“He said I could do it too because it would leave no trace, so he made me register with my account. I placed my first bets on tennis and then football. I used other illegal platforms too, I don’t remember all names because they kept changing every month.”

 

 

During the interrogation, Fagioli referred to Tonali as a “close friend.”

 

“..... I never asked myself if a platform was legal or illegal,” explained the Juventus midfielder.

 

“The difference was that I could play without paying in advance through illegal platforms. It wanted to kill time. I mainly gambled on tennis for a year, then, from January 2022, I was in a stress condition because I had accumulated debts and from September of the same year, I started with football, betting big sums trying to recover.” .............

 

Fagioli has been suspended for seven months, while Tonali was heard by the Turin and FIGC Prosecutors earlier this week. The Newcastle midfielder seems more in trouble than his compatriot, as he allegedly gambled on Milan games while under contract with the Rossoneri.

Fagioli will not get a pay cut from Juventus despite betting ban

 

 

Juventus handled the situations of Paul Pogba and Nicolo Fagioli differently, despite both players facing disciplinary issues.

 

In the case of Pogba, the club suspended him and halted his wages after he failed a drug test, even though he had not yet been formally punished for the offence.

 

In contrast, Fagioli, who received a seven-month ban for violating betting rules, has been treated in a different manner. His struggle with betting addiction has been widely covered in Italian football news, and he is set to undergo treatment for this issue.

 

Fagioli will continue training with the Juventus first team until his ban concludes, and he will also receive his full salary from the club during this period. ..........

Prosecutors could call Fagioli back for more questioning

 

 

Nicolo Fagioli has received a seven-month ban after what appeared to be the conclusion of his betting investigation by the authorities. He is now training and receiving treatment for his betting addiction, but there is a possibility that the midfielder could be called in for further questioning.

 

During his confession to the authorities, he mentioned being threatened, with one of the illegal betting managers allegedly vowing to break his leg if he didn’t settle his debts. This claim is a serious offence, and, if the prosecutors decide to pursue this aspect of the case, they might call him back to provide more details about the threats he has faced. ...................

Fagioli’s therapist speaks: “Nicolò kind and polite, I told him about Paolo Rossi”

 

 

While his Juventus teammates were celebrating a 1-0 win on the pitch, Nicolò Fagioli could only watch the action from the San Siro stands alongside his injured captain Danilo. .............

 

Professor Paolo Jarre is the psychotherapist who’s guiding Fagioli towards recovery, helping him overcome his personal demons. .............

 

 

“I have been following Nicolò for a month and a half. We see each other twice a week.

 

“It’s the first time I’ve followed a high-profile footballer. I had expected a superficial, perhaps even arrogant person. Instead Nicolò, from the first session, seemed polite and kind.

 

“And above all, he’s well aware of being in a bad situation and of putting his career in danger with betting. A flat tire, but not a puncture.” .............

 

 

“I told Nicolò about Paolo Rossi, who placed bets like him and committed a sporting offense.

 

“Yet, after returning from a ban, he was able to win the World Cup. Therefore, the European Championships are in June and Fagioli’s ban would be over by then. .............

 

“I am optimistic. We will recover the man and the Juventus player.”

Sandro Tonali banned for ten months over betting breaches

 

 

FIGC president Gabriele Gravina has confirmed that an agreement has been reached to suspend Newcastle United midfielder Sandro Tonali for ten months over his betting breaches.

 

As part of the investigation which also saw Juventus midfielder Nicolo Fagioli suspended for seven months, Tonali confessed to placing bets on AC Milan during his time at the club, as well as on other football matches.

 

Importantly, his bets were always on Milan to win games, and so he was not investigated for match fixing.

 

Having worked with the authorities after being charged, Tonali has avoided the maximum punishment but will still serve a ten-month ban from competitive action. ............

Udinese is under investigation for a transfer deal with Juventus

 

 

Udinese is currently under investigation for the 2018 transfer of Rolando Mandragora from Juventus.

 

The midfielder initially moved from Juventus to Udinese in 2018, but two years later, he returned to Juventus before subsequently departing on loan to Udinese. Following this loan spell, he went on to play for Torino in the next season and eventually secured a permanent transfer to Fiorentina in 2022.

 

The transfer deal involving Mandragora and its recording in Udinese’s balance sheet has raised suspicions, leading to an investigation. ............

 

As of now, it remains unclear whether Juventus will be called in for questioning or investigation about this case. Juventus has resolved other legal matters from the previous season, but the outcome of this specific investigation is yet to be determined. ............

Buffon: “Calciopoli? I have the medals, I know who was stronger”

 

Gianluigi Buffon, the legendary former Juventus and Italy goalkeeper, recently gave an extensive interview to Juventibus, reflecting on his illustrious career and touching upon significant moments such as Serie B, Calciopoli, and more. ............

 

Reflecting on Juventus’ relegation, Buffon said: “Serie B was very special and beautiful. It was one of the reasons that led me to make a choice that conditioned my career. I was 28 years old; it was the best period for a professional goalkeeper. I did it because I felt it was the right choice.”

 

On Calciopoli, Buffon stated: “I’ve always focused on what happened on the field. Those championships that were discussed, I lived as a protagonist with my teammates as the team to beat. I still have those medals; I smile at them because I know what happened on the field and who deserved it.”

 

He described his feelings during the scandal: “For me, it was humiliating to be called into question. You can say anything about me; sometimes I do unusual things, but don’t touch certain aspects because you’re touching the wrong person.” ............

Inter Milan finally gets their hands on Scudetto that was stripped from Juventus

 

Inter Milan has finally been awarded the 2005/2006 Scudetto, years after it was initially revoked from Juventus due to the infamous Calciopoli match-fixing scandal. The 2005/2006 Serie A season remains one of the most controversial in Italian football history. Juventus, who were crowned champions that year, were stripped of the title after being implicated in the scandal. AC Milan also faced scrutiny for their role in the affair, but Inter Milan emerged as the club that had won their matches fairly and was subsequently seen as the rightful champion.

 

However, the road to Inter’s official recognition as the 2005/2006 champions was not a simple one. Juventus contested the decision for years, continuing to assert their innocence and demanding the title be returned to them. The matter went through various legal battles and court proceedings. Eventually, Juventus withdrew their case before the final hearing, clearing the way for the trophy to officially be awarded to Inter Milan. ............
