«Sandro Tonali and Nicolò Zaniolo do it too».
Fabrizio Corona said this in an interview with the Dillinger news website, after also mentioning the name of Juventus footballer Nicolò Fagioli, under investigation in Turin for an alleged round of betting on matches which allegedly involved some players.
«An informer - says the former king of the paparazzi - revealed to me that Zaniolo bet on Roma's match in the Italian Cup even when he was on the bench. The names - he adds - were given to me by certain sources which I will reveal as soon as possible".
And again: «I decided to move into the back world of football to reveal the many distortions that hide there. Not just betting, but there is much more", continues Corona. Adding: «We will soon talk, for example, about gay footballers and why none of them have ever revealed publicly that they are gay. What's stopping it? What makes them hide."
«The information on football betting comes to me from a person well acquainted with the world of football and is part of a dossier that has been collected over time», says Corona, who warns: «In the coming weeks we will see some really good things».
Corona himself was summoned for a hearing at the Police Headquarters in Milan, as part of the Turin prosecutors' investigation concerning Fagioli. "I can't say anything, I respect the law," he told reporters as he left.
