Totti investigated for money laundering

According to 'Informazione', 'Football Italia' and 'La Verita', ex-footballer Francesco Totti is being investigated for supposed money laundering, as it is thought that he is involved in "suspiscious transactions" linked to operations in casinos in Las Vegas, Monte Carlo and London.

The Roma and Italy legend is accused of laundering money and the investigators have already examined his bank account and all the transactions carried out in the last few years.

According to the sources mentioned, Totti is thought to have taken out an interest-free loan of €80,000 from an unknown person from Anzio in Italy. At first glance, the account behind the loan is thought to be the daughter of an employee in the Italian Ministry of Sports and Health's.

This money would have ended up getting to Totti through an Italian minister. It is thought that the transaction is linked to betting, and the investigators have "significant doubts over the money's true destination".
