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.
