Scandal rocks Italian Serie A as more than a dozen footballers face accusations of illegal betting

According to AP, in addition to the three players, at least another dozen footballers from the Italian Serie A could be involved in illegal betting. Tonali (now Newcastle) and Zaniolo (Aston Villa) also played here last season. According to Italian media, Zaniolo admitted to trying the blackjack card game at an online casino, but denied the accusation of betting on football.

Football players in Italy are prohibited by the national association from betting on football matches, but they are not denied other bets. For violating the rules, they face a ban on activity for at least three years and a fine of at least 25,000 euros (about 617,000 crowns).
