Former Inter- and Roma player Radja Nainggolan, who has been investigated since January because he is linked to a criminal organization, breaks his silence to defend himself. The controversial player has admitted that for a loan of 100,000 euros from a well-known human dealer, NASR-Eddine Sekkaki, he has asked a central figure in a study into an alleged international drug network, but denies any involvement in drug-related criminal activities.
“Yes, I asked Sekkaki for that amount, but not to finance illegal human trafficking,” he said on Monday during a television interview with the Belgian program 'Bar Goens'. “The reason? He needed liquidity. My bills were frozen because of my divorce and I had collected gambling debts.”
The office of the public prosecutor assumed that the player could be involved in a network of money laundering and financing criminal activities, something that continues to categorically reject Nainggolan: “It was not those who needed that money. I asked for help with a personal situation.
