Udinese supports Super Eagles goalkeeper with a statement after beating the accusations of parties repair

The Italian team of the Udinese series has backed the international archera of Nigeria Maduka Okoye, who was accused of an accusation of parties repair after an investigation into the yellow card he received against Lazio last season, reports Owngoalnigeria.com.

The prosecutors alleged that the goalkeeper was deliberately reserved in the game due to the betting patterns of a Udine province, where he resides in him obtaining a second yellow card.

He went to the court and, according to a declaration of Udinese, was excluded from any sports fraud, but gave a two -month prohibition for another totally unrelated offensive to fix a game. A four -year prohibition would have been the verdict if he was declared guilty of sports fraud.

“The FIGC Federal Court has excluded any participation from the Maduka Okoye player in sports fraud today, completely accepting the arguments presented by his lawyers,” said a statement from Udinese.

“In court, all accusations of alleged sports fraud were dismissed, and the decision to impose a two -month prohibition was exclusively regarding the violation of the generic principle of equity (article 4 of the Sporting Judicial Code).

“The club is satisfied that the athlete has been totally authorized by the insulting accusations of setting parties. The club cannot avoid reaffirming the maximum support for Okoye, which is waiting to read the motivation of the sentence.

“Udinese reaffirms our full faith in Maduka’s correct behavior.”

The two -month prohibition will begin from the first official game of the season for Udinese, which is his draw scheduled in Coppa Italia against Carrarese on August 18.

That means that the goalkeeper will miss six games from Serie A and return to action from October 18.
