Corona and the betting scandal with Fagioli, what happened?

Fabrizio Corona on Lele Mora

The world of football, which often seems like a novel with its intricate events, finds itself once again in the spotlight. Not for a sporting feat, but due to a betting case which could rewrite some pages of Italian football.

Corona's revelations

Fabricius Corona, well known to the general public, has decided to reveal what he knows, bringing to light an alleged scandal that could involve several protagonists of our football.

Details on Corona's declarations

With a certain audacity, Corona revealed details that make us think. She suggested that if it weren't for her anticipation of her, certain information would have been made known only after some crucial national team matches. He then spoke of an investigation that could have significant repercussions on teams and players.

After raising questions on the situation of Nicolò Fagioli relative to a round of betting on illegal sites, now formally under the attention of the Turin Public Prosecutor's Office and who took the initiative to self-report, Fabrizio Corona also mentioned the Azzurri players Sandro Tonali and Niccolò Zaniolo. The latter, during their stay in Coverciano for training with the national team managed by Luciano Spalletti, are preparing for the upcoming Euro2024 qualifying matches against Malta and England. Afterwards, the authorities visited the national sports center to speak with the two athletes, who later left the field.

It seems like the storm is just beginning. Indeed, in the night between 12 and 13 October, Fabrizio Corona shared further details, speaking live on Sportitalia. She presented what she described as another “plot twist.” To better understand the sequence of events and what happened during that hectic day, Corona clarified:

The authorities went to Coverciano only after speaking with me, as they were aware of my intentions to reveal those details, thus avoiding embarrassment

Corona sources, is this fake news?

In a world where distinguishing truth from fiction is increasingly complex, Corona's words raise many questions.

He promptly denied rumors regarding a source of Peruvian origins, stating with certainty that its source is genuinely Italian. He also warned of the risk of fake news.

Who are the players involved

Here's the crucial point: the players.
Some names are already known:

  • Nicolo Fagioli,
  • Sandro Tonali,
  • Niccolo Zaniolo

But Corona suggests that the list could be much longer, involving athletes from Serie A, Serie B and Serie C. The motivation behind these bets? Not just money, but a search for adrenaline, which could hide a profound dependence.
