Italian footballer Nicolò Fagioli, currently playing for Fiorentina, is under investigation by the Milan Prosecutor's Office for his involvement in an illegal betting network alongside 12 other players, including Leandro Paredes, Ángel Di María, and Junior Firpo. Fagioli, who was previously banned for seven months for betting on football matches, has implicated several players and even mentioned Spanish striker Álvaro Morata in his dealings, though Morata is not under investigation. Fagioli's involvement in the betting scandal has led to him accumulating debts of nearly 3 million euros. In an attempt to settle these debts, he resorted to borrowing money from friends, teammates, and former colleagues, including Juventus players Federico Gatti and Radu Dragusin, and those from Cremonese. He also engaged in a luxury watch resale scheme, claiming that Morata helped him acquire Rolex watches at a lower price for resale through the Elysium jewelry store. The investigation has revealed that Fagioli and fellow footballer Sandro Tonali were not only betting on unauthorized platforms but also actively promoting these platforms and facilitating account openings for others. The scheme involved significant sums of money, with Fagioli managing to gather around 600,000 euros from various individuals, including an assistant referee from Serie A, Federico Luciani, who lent him 73,000 euros. Fagioli was also threatened by a figure known as 'Nelly' during this period. Fagioli has publicly addressed the situation on social media, expressing regret for his actions and asking for respect after having served his penalty. He emphasized his struggle with gambling addiction and his desire to move forward from the incident, particularly after his emotional reaction during a match against Sassuolo.
