The Udinese goalkeeper Maduka Okoye would be investigated by the Udine Prosecutor’s Office for illegal betting. This was revealed by Messaggero Veneto, according to which the twenty-five-year-old German naturalized Nigerian would have focused on his yellow card during a match last season. Along with Okoye, a forty-year-old entrepreneur, Diego Giordano, owner of a pizzeria often frequented by Juventus footballers, would also be under investigation. The accusation against the two suspects is that of fraud.
Anomalous flow of bets on Lazio Udinese from last championship
The investigation was triggered by a report from Sisal, which through its algorithm found an anomalous flow of bets on the match between Lazio and Udinese on 11 March 2024. In that match Okoye was booked for wasting time midway through the second half. “My client is calm, we will provide all the necessary clarifications at the appropriate time. The issue is rather delicate”, declared Okoye’s lawyer, Maurizio Conti. The player, who now risks being investigated by the sporting justice system as well (federal prosecutor Chinè requested the documents from the prosecutor’s office)risks a disqualification of up to 4 years.
