Sandro Tonali, a former AC Milan player, was charged with 50 betting offenses between 12 August 2023 and 12 October 2023, when he was already playing for Newcastle. The FA found him guilty and handed him a two-month ban from football and related activities and a fine of £20,000.
Suspension and Warning
Although Tonali received a two-month sentence, it was suspended. At the same time, he was given a warning about the possible extension of his sentence in case of further violations.
Club reaction
Newcastle issued a statement noting that the period of suspension will be suspended until the end of the ten-month sanction imposed by the Italian Football Federation (FIGC) in October 2023. The club also expressed support for Tonali and confirmed his participation in the therapeutic program.
Tonali was recognized for his active cooperation during the investigation and his admission of his betting activities. Extraordinary cooperation and provision of additional information helped him avoid further penalties from the FA.
Educational Measures
The player continues to follow the therapeutic plan and educational program, which is a prerequisite for his return to training and competition in the future.
Sandro Tonali's punishment is another example of how sports organizations strictly enforce rules and punish violators, even when the violations occur off the field of play.
