Zlatan Ibrahimovic is being investigated by UEFA for his
“alleged financial interest in a betting company,” European soccer’s governing
body said on Monday (Tuesday in Manila).
Swedish daily Aftonbladet reported this month the
39-year-old AC Milan striker was a partner in Bethard, a Malta-based gaming
company.
UEFA’s disciplinary regulations state players should not
have financial interest in betting.
Ibrahimovic has represented Milan in UEFA’s Europa League.
He came out of international retirement last month after an absence of nearly
five years to play for Sweden in two World Cup qualifiers.
“A UEFA ethics and disciplinary inspector has today been
appointed to conduct a disciplinary investigation regarding a potential
violation of the UEFA disciplinary regulations by Mr. Zlatan Ibrahimovic for
having an alleged financial interest in a betting company,” UEFA said in a
statement.
