Official: Former Milan star Tonali served legal documents for involvement in betting scandal

Former AC Milan midfielder and current Newcastle star Sandro Tonali has been served legal documents for his involvement in the betting scandal that features three players at this stage.

As has been officially announced by the FIGC, the two Italy internationals have been served the official documentation that says they are under investigation for their role in a betting scandal.

This story first began with Juventus midfielder Nicolo Fagioli being investigated for using illegal betting platforms and potentially betting on football matches.

It then emerged that Tonali and Aston Villa’s Nicolo Zaniolo are also involved. The latter two are now officially being investigated as well.

Tonali and Zaniolo have been allowed to leave Coverciano where they were training for the upcoming Euro 2024 qualifiers. The FIGC believe that they won’t be in a fit state to face Malta and England.

In the long run, there is serious potential for suspensions from the sport for all three players.
