Former Belgium international Radja Nainggolan is facing a requested two-year jail term and a €105,000 penalty after Brussels authorities accused him of financial offences. The legal proceedings against the 38-year-old ex-Serie A midfielder stem from his arrest in January 2025 during a wider anti-narcotics investigation in Antwerp.
Former Belgian international Radja Nainggolan is facing a potential two-year prison sentence and a €105,000 fine after Brussels prosecutors accused him of money laundering. The charges stem from his arrest in January 2025 during a wider anti-narcotics investigation in Antwerp, though he maintains his innocence. The alleged money laundering involves €105,000 allegedly received from his friend Nasr-Eddine Sekkaki, the brother of a notorious criminal.
Nainggolan claims he borrowed the cash to maintain his lifestyle after his bank accounts were frozen following a divorce. His defense team plans to argue for a complete acquittal when they present their case in court on November 13.
