Ceemo Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 Says in that article that if Zaniolo's lawyers prove that he didn't gamble on football matches, he would only be facing a fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pongo Waring Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 Massive positive in this is Newcastle being weakened without Tonali if he gets banned, and it's looking like he will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomaszk Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 What are these illegal platforms they're betting on? Why aren't they using bet365 or whatever? Because they're betting thousands at a time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because they're betting thousands at a time? I had a friend that worked at one of the major high street bookmakers. He told me VIP clients would actually bet on adjacent website/apps set up by the bookmakers that offered more attractive odds and higher limits.

Its worked too! You and I have very different interpretations of the word 'entertainment'. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully Zaniolo's decision to defend himself is the right one, seems that everything is happening fairly quickly. Anything involving the Italian authorities is likely to be long a drawn out, not to mention suspicious too. I live in northern Italy for about 18 months a few years ago.

KAZZAM Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 So Fagiolo might have a punishment handed down to him already by Italian Authorities but Paqueta who's allegedly spot fixed games still gets to play every week. Makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes sense. Fagiolo has been cooperating since August. And has confessed to his crimes. Edit: Actually I thought I read somewhere that it was in August but can't find it.

alreadyexists Posted October 17, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted October 17, 2023 So is he not in the Italy squad because of the gambling allegations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaJ100 Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 What's the odds Fagioli gets plea bargain Tonali gets charges dropped strangely and in a completely unrelated event the Italian FA get ls a load of Ferrari's donated by the Saudi Embassy and Zaniolo is left with a 3 match ban?

They sent Tonali and Zaniolo home after the story leaked prior to the Malta game. The police wanted to move after the game, which would have been a bit melodramatic maybe but regardless once it leaked the Italian fa sent them home. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, it sounds like he’s not done anything significant now, so it’s a shame for him when he’d got his call up back to the squad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had already admitted he'd bet on football matches on the illegal platform. So he had admitted to breaching football rules against betting on football and was destined for a ban. Zaniolo is saying he never bet on football 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 Lengthy bans for Fagiola and Tonali then. Surely it's over for him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
