Reports in Italy confirm that Italy internationals Sandro Tonali and Nicolo Fagioli have been handed their final punishments as the investigation into their illegal gambling activity finally comes to a definitive end.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Tonali and Fagioli betting investigation reaches definitive conclusion<\/h2>\n

Tonali and Fagioli both served lengthy bans between 2023 and 2024 for their involvement in illegal gambling practices, which involved betting on football matches, which is prohibited for professional players.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In October of 2023, the FIGC confirmed that Tonali would have to serve a 10-match suspension for his involvement, as well as being ordered to pay a fine of \u20ac20,000 and to attend a series of events warning others against the dangers of gambling addictions. Fagioli was also handed a seven-month suspension and a fine of \u20ac12,500.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

These were \u2018sporting\u2019 punishments handed out by the Italian football association, but that is separate from <\/span>the criminal investigation that was opened in April 2025<\/span>. Tonali and Fagioli were accused of gambling on illegal betting sites, of promoting these platforms among other professional athletes, and of opening accounts and delivering payments on behalf of their colleagues.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Reports from various outlets in Italy on Thursday, including the <\/span>Corriere dello Sport<\/span>, confirm that the investigation into the illegal gambling case has now drawn to a conclusion, which means that the matter is now definitively over.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Tonali will have to pay a fine of \u20ac78,000, while Fagioli has been handed a one-month suspended prison sentence.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
