Andrea Pirlo is regarded as one of the best footballers of his generation. He won numerous titles, with the pinnacle of his career being the victory at the 2006 World Cup.
His son, Nicolo Pirlo, is not yet well-known in the football world. However, today, his name has surfaced in an unpleasant context.
According to Marca, citing Italian media, Nicolo is involved in betting on illegal platforms operated by two Italians. Nicolo is not among those under investigation, but he is mentioned in the documents of the Milan prosecutor’s office. In addition to Pirlo Jr., dozens of footballers were also involved, including Angel Di Maria and Leandro Paredes.
Nicolo Fagioli and Pietro Marioni were responsible for recruiting new clients into the illegal network. Both are under investigation.
In October 2023, Fagioli was already suspended for 7 months for betting on football matches, which is prohibited by the Italian federation.
It is known that Nicolo’s father blocked his accounts at betting shops. However, by the age of 17, he had accumulated debts of 30,000 euros.
