This is a matter that has put Italy on alert for several months. Like his teammates in the national team, Sandro Tonali and Nicolo Fagioli, both suspended for 10 and 7 months for engaging in this illicit practice, in addition to Nicolo Zaniolo, it is the turn of Alessandro Florenzi to find yourself in the crosshairs of transalpine justice. This Thursday, La Gazzetta dello Sport provided more details about it. The former Paris Saint-Germain player would be accused of having “bet on sporting events organized by UEFA, FIFA and FIGC”.
However, the Italian escaped a sporting sanction after being heard for a little over an hour by the Turin prosecutor. “There is no ongoing procedure on our side, as there is currently no information or evidence on betting on football matches”, the Italian Federation (FIGC) explained to AFP. The 32-year-old faced up to three years of suspension.
