The investigation by the Turin Prosecutor's Office into the betting case continues. According to the Agi Agenzia Italia, Alessandro Florenzi also ended up in the crosshairs. The former Roma and now AC Milan footballer has been entered in the register of suspects on charges of illegal exercise of gaming or betting activities (that contemplated in art. 4 of law 401 of 1989) and his name is added to those of Fagioli and Tonali, who settled, and of Zaniolo who rejected any responsibility for bets made in football.
According to what Adnkronos reports, the federal prosecutor's office of the FIGC was not surprised by the inclusion of the AC Milan player's name in the register of those under investigation by the Turin prosecutor's office, it was already aware of it, but, as happened in the Zaniolo case, the prosecutor's office headed from Chinè will not proceed until there is evidence from the Turin Prosecutor's Office or a self-report from the player. In the next few hours Florenzi could be questioned in Turin by prosecutor Manuela Pedrotta, who coordinates the investigation with prosecutor Enrica Gabetta.
According to what Il Corriere della Sera writes, Florenzi would not have bet on football matches in any case. The case of the Rossoneri player would therefore follow the same path as that which in the previous weeks concerned Nicolò Zaniolo, with the former Roma player - now at Aston Villa - having for now escaped disqualification since he did not focus on football matches, but only on blackjack and poker, which would lead him towards a simple pecuniary sanction (on the criminal level) while avoiding him being removed from the football pitches, as instead happened with Nicolò Fagioli (7 months plus 5 of alternative prescriptions) and Sandro Tonali (10 with another 8 of prescriptions), who received a higher sanction for having also bet on the teams for which he played, i.e. Brescia and Milan.
