Italian justice is investigating Francesco Totti for involvement in suspicious banking transactions related to casinos and online betting. Anti-money laundering agents are investigating transactions made from his accounts in June 2020.

Francisco Totti, suspicious transactions with bookmakers and casinos

The former Roma captain, who has 58 caps and scored 9 goals for the Italian national team, will be investigated for transactions carried out two and a half years ago involving online betting companies, writes RMC Sport.

One of the transactions dates back to August 2021, when Totti allegedly loaned one of his relatives 80,000 euros without interest. The amount should have been transferred to the joint account of the wife and daughter of the person in question before passing through the joint account of the spouses and entering the recipient’s personal account.

Operations in Monte Carlo, London and Las Vegas

In June 2020, suspicious payments were made in Monte Carlo, London and Las Vegas casinos from two accounts belonging to the 2006 world champion.

“There are well-founded suspicions about the true purpose of the money sent to various international bookmakers,” experts said.

After playing 785 games for Roma, scoring 307 goals and providing 206 assists, the former number 10 retired in 2007 after 24 years.
