The man suspected of being the source of information on the midfielder’s involvement “Roma” and the Polish national team Nikola Zalevski in the case of betting on football matches in Italy, admitted to having invented everything, reports La Gazzetta du Sport .
The alleged whistleblower appeared on the Cerbero podcast without giving his name and hiding his face. He admitted that the information about Zalewski, which he allegedly passed to journalist Fabrizio Corona, was entirely fabricated by him. Corona was the first to report that Italian national team players Nicolo Fagioli, Sandro Tonali and Nicolo Zaniolo were betting on sports.
“The information is false, I have no proof, I am talking complete nonsense.” What was I hoping for? He told me that we would meet in Rome and talk about compensation, 20 thousand euros for information. I accepted because I was having financial difficulties. But I realized it was immoral,” he said.
It was previously reported that the 21-year-old Polish footballer denies everything and could sue the Crown for defamation. Authorities have not opened any investigation into Zalewski’s case.
The Italian Football Federation (FIGC) announced on Tuesday that Juventus midfielder Nicolo Fagioli has been suspended from matches for seven months for violating football betting rules.
