Hakan Çalhanoğlu, a player for the Turkish national team and Inter, faced the threat of disqualification.
Oku.Az reports that the 30-year-old midfielder could be suspended for 2 or 3 games due to his contacts with fans suspected of criminal activity.
Two months ago, a criminal group consisting of 19 people was arrested in Italy. Among them are the fans of Inter and Milan, where Haka wears his shirt.
These people are accused of embezzling money from the sale of tickets and drinks for the “San Siro” matches. They also accepted a bribe to get parking on the territory of the stadium.
The group is allegedly linked to the mafia. Hakan and coach Simone Inzaghi were brought into the case as witnesses of their association with criminals. They contacted the player and the coach to buy tickets for the 2023 Champions League final. The midfielder admitted everything. He faces disqualification and a huge fine.
It should be noted that Hakan moved from Milan to Inter, where he has been wearing his uniform since 2021.
