Last month , authority in Singapore just seized USD 2 Billion worth of assets from a syndicate that operates illegal gambling /off-shore betting website and they are just only side kicks, not even the main guy yet. Illegal betting/ off shore gambling sites is a plague that always leads to match fixing /extortion of players etc as they and will eventually kill the game. And yet here we are! ...sponsored by a ******* gambling company! Edited October 14, 2023 by AvfcRigo82 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The immense dickhead Fabrizio Corona is very well informed somehow and has been involved by the police which led to Fagioli's arrest. So he's more than likely trying to get some time off from his previous misdemeanors by trading what he knows about the betting sites and players involved. Looks like Zaniolo is being charged with article 4 of law 13, December 1989, n. 401. Which is to do with unlicensed betting, nothing yet about betting on games he's involved in as that isn't covered. He's involved in something that will pan out to be huge if the authorities go all the way with it. Remains to be seen if they can and will though. For Zaniolo being charged with that article could mean 6 months to 3 years prison. Then there's what the Italian FA do on top. Isnt Corona under house arrest so obvious he has struck a deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 If he is charged we should just terminate the loan. We will have to use kellyman or some othwe kids in the matchday squad until january Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That article said the police called him in as he knew about the case, he'd published something on social media with the voice changed that got them interested. So he's deffo trying to get a discount.

jacketspuds Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 Going to reserve judgment until he’s actually convicted of something. Certainly doesn’t look great so far but the good thing is he’s only on loan, and we are run extremely professionally. Realistically this is Galatasaray’s problem, and we are just in the middle of it all. If he is banned it will have minimal impact on the club. We’ve had a great season so far and he has had a very small part to play in that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve had a great season so far and he has had a very small part to play in that. In terms of us as a club we're really not risking anything seeing as he's on loan. It's just incredibly sad that if it pans out like it looks like it might we will lose out on a great player and Zaniolo himself will be royally ****. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have liked to have seen him play against England. But more than anything, I was hoping he'd come good for us and be a big success. It's all looking a bit gloomy now though. I doubt anything is "an open and shut case", I'm sure the lawyers on both sides will be kept busy. Our player is reported as having said that he has never bet on football matches and he is one of twelve players that could be involved in the investigation, I doubt everyone will be found guilty, if charged. I still cling to the hope that he has done no more than he has said. That he will be able to put this behind him and to continue with us, in both the short and the long term. He doesn't have a guilty face to me, not so sure about his mother though. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villan95 Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 Hope this is resolved quickly but I doubt it based on similar cases. Important that we don't trigger the buy clause if we suspect he could be facing a lengthy ban. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See what comes out of the phones and tablets now though I spose. It was Fagioli's phone that has led to the next round of arrests which Zaniolo is part of. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
