Overview

• Italian prosecutors are investigating 13 soccer players, including Tonali, Fagioli, and McKennie, for illegal online gambling activities unrelated to football betting.
• The investigation stems from evidence and depositions provided during earlier cases in 2023, which led to bans for Tonali and Fagioli due to gambling violations.
• Players are accused of using illegal platforms for poker and non-football sports betting, with no risk of further sporting bans but facing potential fines up to 250 euros.
• Allegations include promoting unauthorized betting sites, with Fagioli reportedly directing teammates to these platforms in exchange for incentives.
• Five individuals linked to organizing the illegal gambling platforms have been placed under house arrest, but no players are implicated in these arrests.
