Italy and Newcastle United Midfielder Sandro Tonali Admits to Betting on AC Milan Matches, Set to Face Lengthy Ban
The 23-year-old midfielder is assisting the authorities, according to Sandro Tonali's agent, who also acknowledged that the player is battling a gambling addiction. On the other hand, Nicolo Fagioli received a seven-month ban after reaching a plea bargain.
Sandro Tonali may face a one year ban after he admitted to placing illegal bets to the prosecutors overseeing an ongoing investigation into illicit gambling, according to Italian sources. Newcastle's summer signing Sandro Tonali is one of three players who are currently in the betting investigation, along with Aston Villa's Nicolo Zaniolo and Nicolo Fagioli of Juventus. If it turns out that Tonali had gambled on his old team, AC Milan, then he might be subject to a heavier suspension than Fagioli because that would be considered sporting misconduct under the nation's Sports Justice Code.
