According to Italian media sosfanta, Udinese goalkeeper Okoye is suspected of deliberately taking yellow cards and betting, and the hearing will be held next Tuesday.

25-year-old Okoye is a Nigerian goalkeeper who deliberately took a yellow card in a Serie A game in March last year. An investigation found that a friend of his bet was given a heavy bet for him to take a yellow card in the game. Currently Okoye is charged for allegedly violating Article 4 of the Sports Law (the principles of integrity, fairness and honesty must be followed).

The Italian sports justice department will hold a hearing on the case next Tuesday (July 22) and make a judgment on the same day. There will be 10 days left to announce the reason for the judgment. Once Okoye is found guilty, he may be suspended for four years and fined 50,000 euros. Okoye will have 7 days to appeal.

In addition, Okoye was also criminally charged for this. However, compared with the sports judicial trial, the trial of criminal cases requires stricter evidence, and Okoye is less likely to be convicted.
