Corona also accuses Zaniolo's mother
"Zaniolo's mother also had a leading role in her son's betting round." This is what the so-called "source" would have said to Fabrizio Corona, according to new revelations reported on the Dillingernews.it website, in which the former photographic agent is publishing these days details and names on the new front of football betting, on which the Turin prosecutors investigate. What Corona calls "the informant" or "deep throat" allegedly told him that Francesca Costa, mother of the former Roma striker, would manage "her son's affairs" and that she would be "aware of everything". In the text reported on the site we also read, about the "information provided by Fabrizio's source", this passage, always referring to the alleged 'mole': "a deep throat in the FIGC?".

The first communication from Corona is dated August 2, 2023, when he stated that the Juventus Nicolò Fagioli suffered from ludopathy, without mentioning that a judicial proceeding was open in Turin, in great secrecy.
Sbrollini: 'Ludopatia is an underestimated emergency'
"What is investing Italian football is a real Tsunami. The spectre of betting, after the scandals of 1980 and 2011, returns to hover over this world. With worrying methods, such as the visit of the agents to Coverciano and the trickle of names by Fabrizio Corona, who soon, apparently, will reveal another. And, beyond the sporting or criminal consequences, it brings us back to what is a social emergency, often underestimated: ludopathy". This was stated by the senator of Italy Viva Daniela Sbrollini, head of sports of the party and vice president of the Senate Social Affairs and Health Commission. "Gambling addiction is a demon that can lead entire families to economic ruin or social isolation. And it strikes - adds Sbrollini - without distinction of age, sex and social status: unemployed, pensioners, workers, even rich and famous boys. In this case, the phenomenon takes on even more worrying connotations, because footballers are role models for young people and risk becoming miseducational. And we know that this type of addiction particularly affects young people, to whom we must propose positive sports models. And in Italy, fortunately, they are the majority".
