Difficult days for Granit Xhaka. According to DailyMail, the Arsenal footballer is suspected to be involved in the Albanian mafia, along with a former professional footballer.

The investigators, who in June examined the case of the yellow card that the 29-year-old allegedly received intentionally, are now dealing with this issue. But, writes the tabloid, there are no clear data and the Arsenal team itself has refused to comment on the matter that is being further investigated.

Two months ago, the FA asked the National Crime Agency to look into Xhaka's case, after Arsenal's win against Leeds United last season was suspected of deliberately picking up a yellow card.

On December 18, 2021, a huge bet of £52,000 was placed that the 29-year-old would be booked in the last 10 minutes. Despite the fact that the "Gunners" were winning the match with a deep result, Xhaka was punished in the 86th minute of the meeting with a yellow card for delaying the execution of the penalty kick in favor of his team.

The Swiss midfielder of Albanian origin stood on the ball for about 20 seconds before being penalized and immediately after the match it was reported that a sum of £250,000 was earned for this yellow card he received.

The FA's investigation involved several suspicious betting incidents that emerged at the end of Arsenal's 4-1 win. According to Sportsmail, investigators have uncovered evidence of significant amounts of cryptocurrency betting on markets that are not regulated in this country, with much of the activity thought to have taken place in Albania.

Daily Mail, in the article, recalls the fine that the Albanian football player received in 2018 in a World Cup match. While playing for the Swiss team, he made the eagle symbol with his hands, subsequently being fined by FIFA.
