Juventus F.C. midfielder Nicolò Fagioli and UK Premier League players Sandro Tonali (Newcastle) and Nicolò Zaniolo (Aston Villa) are implicated in a criminal investigation over illegal betting activities by the Italian Public Prosecutor in Turin which is supported by the anti-mafia & organised crime Police.
Italian media reported that betting activities under investigation would have been undertaken on the websites worldgame365.me and evoz9.fx-gaming.net, unlicensed in Italy. Zaniolo would have placed bets on A.S. Roma when he was an A.S. Roma midfielder. Also, at least another dozen footballers would be involved, and possibly even other people who may have benefited from information. In this case, the Turin investigation could turn out to be extremely serious.
The investigation is ongoing, and the nature of the entire allegation has not yet been revealed. At the National football federation level (FIGC), a separate investigation has started.
But which are the relevant national and sport rules that may have been breached?
