Francesco Totti at the heart of a legal case

Here is a very strange story. Calcio legend Francesco Totti is said to be involved “in suspicious transactions reported by anti-money laundering agents”. At least that’s what reports the Italian newspaper La Verita, referring to alleged checks on the bank accounts of the former Roman captain and the hypothesis of investments in sports betting has been put on the table. Last August, there was an interest-free loan of 80,000 euros to the joint account of a pensioner and her daughter employed by the company Sport e Salute (controlled by the Italian Ministry of Economy). The same day, the sum would have passed on the account held jointly with the husband of the fifties, who would be a friend of Totti, then on a personal account of the man. The checks carried out would have revealed a plurality of transfers from “companies operating in the online betting sector”. In this anti-money laundering activity, Totti’s name would appear in June 2020, through the review of two accounts and transactions related to casinos in Monte Carlo, London and Las Vegas: “Strong doubts remain as to the real destination of the money sent to the various international casinos”write anti-money laundering experts according to the reports.

What’s next after this ad

The alleged friend of the former giallorosso then defended himself: “I have been a friend of Francesco for fifteen years. Since my wife and I had problems, I’m not ashamed to say, we asked her for a loan of 160,000 euros. And he gave it to us. He did it with me, and not just with me. It also happened to cousins, to other family members.. The money would therefore not have been used to finance alleged bets placed in Totti’s name. However, radio silence on the player’s side so far.
