Pepe Reina

Pepe Reina was accused a few days ago of maintaining a link with the Italian mafia, specifically with Gabriele Esposito and his two brothers, from Napoli. Now, a World Cup champion with Italy is also accused of maintaining an "inappropriate friendly" relationship with both.

Fabio Cannavaro

Fabio Cannavaro, the historic defender of that Italian team in 2006, is accused of maintaining a relationship with Esposito and his brothers since 2009. According to the Italian newspaper 'La Gazzetta dello Sport', the defender attempted to sell a watch valued at 400,000 euros, a watch of "questionable origin," as reported.

In addition, he is accused of trying to obtain tickets from Napoli for people associated with the Lo Russo clan and of entering their data to avoid controls. But that's not all, he is also accused of giving Gabriele Esposito his own credit card for illegal activities.

This story related to the Italian mafia is just beginning, although it is the first time that both players are linked in a similar situation.
