Juventus starlet Nicolo Fagioli is reportedly being investigated in Italy for betting on illegal platforms which could see him face a ban of up to three years if found guilty.<\/p>\n
Fagioli, 22, broke into Juventus’ team last year after an impressive loan spell at Cremonese in 2021-22 and has quickly become a key player for head coach Max Allegri.<\/p>\n
The midfielder has also won one cap for Italy and has featured six times in Serie A so far this season.<\/p>\n
However, according to Italian reports, Fagioli’s progress could soon be halted with the Turin Prosecutor’s Office now looking into allegations that he has been betting on unlicensed online outlets.<\/p>\n
The reports states the Italian Football Federation’s prosecutor Giuseppe Chine was made aware of the investigation at the end of August and handed the initial documents soon after.<\/p>\n

Regulations state that if Fagioli is found guilty, the 22-year-old could be suspended from football for a maximum of 36 months.<\/p>\n
The rise of unlicensed betting platforms has been a growing problem in Italy in recent times, with public prosecutor Manuela Pedrotta increasingly drawing attention to these outlets.<\/p>\n
Italian reports go onto state how investigators analysed user access by cross-referencing data along with various transactions that were carried out, while also verifying the real names and nicknames of registered users on these illegal sites.<\/p>\n
During this analysis Fagioli’s name came up. While a fine for those who have used the illegal sites would normally be sufficient, the fact the midfielder is a professional sportsman means the situation is different and a harsher punishment is seen as necessary.<\/p>\n

Punishments for breaching betting regulations have been handed out in England in recent times, with Ivan Toney (pictured) banned for eight months after admitting 232 breaches<\/p>\n
The new judicial problems for Juventus come after they were deducted 10 points last year in Serie A and banned from European football this season by UEFA for alleged financial irregularities.<\/p>\n
The investigation – also by the Turin Prosecutor’s Office – similarly saw several former members of the club’s board handed bans from from football, including ex-club president Andrea Agnelli and then-Tottenham managing director of football Fabio Paratici.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, in England, Brentford striker Ivan Toney was banned from football for eight months after admitting 232 betting offences, while Nottingham Forest defender Harry Toffolo received a suspended five-month suspension after breaching betting regulations on 375 occasions.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Fagioli was not named in Italy’s squad for their Euro 2024 qualifiers against Malta and England over the coming week.\u00a0<\/p>\n
