Sandro Tonali, a prominent player for Newcastle United, is navigating a football betting scandal using a strategy employed by fellow player Nicolo Fagioli. Tonali has openly admitted to placing bets on football matches, even on AC Milan games during his tenure with the Italian club. However, he is claiming that his wagers were exclusively on Milan’s victories and not on draws or losses.
Tonali’s legal team is following a path similar to Fagioli, who voluntarily reported himself to the Italian Football Federation (FIGC) as soon as he became aware of the investigation into his betting activities. This approach of coming clean and admitting wrongdoing promptly could potentially work in Tonali’s favor.
Fagioli’s case resulted in a seven-month ban rather than the initially reported 15-month suspension. This outcome might serve as a precedent for Tonali’s situation.
