Radja Nainggolan responds to potential prison sentence in drug case

Former Belgian international footballer Radja Nainggolan has responded to reports that he faces a potential two-year prison sentence and a fine exceeding 105,000 euros in a drug-related investigation.

Nainggolan became part of the investigation due to financial dealings with Nasr-Eddine Sekkaki, the brother of known criminal Ashraf Sekkaki. According to reports, Nainggolan received approximately 105,500 euros from Sekkaki over several months, an amount he reportedly repaid in installments.

Nainggolan stated that he had no malicious intent regarding these transactions. He expressed concern regarding the impact of the news on his children and his family, but noted that he remains relatively serene and trusts his legal team to handle the judicial process.
