Sources: 29. Developments: 2. Brussels prosecutors have requested a two year prison sentence and a 105,000 euro fine for former Belgian international footballer Radja Nainggolan. He is accused of money laundering in connection with an investigation into an international cocaine trafficking ring operating through the Port of Antwerp. Authorities allege that Nainggolan received approximately 105,500 euros from Nasr-Eddine Sekkaki, the brother of known criminal Ashraf Sekkaki, and transferred the funds in installments to Sekkaki’s mother’s bank account using fictitious construction work as justification. While Nainggolan is not charged with drug trafficking or membership in the criminal organization, prosecutors claim he laundered the funds. Nainggolan has denied the allegations, stating he borrowed the money to maintain his lifestyle after his Italian bank accounts were frozen following a divorce. He has expressed concern regarding the impact of the news on his family but stated he remains serene and trusts his legal team to handle the judicial process. ## Timeline ### 2026-11-02: Radja Nainggolan responds to potential prison sentence in drug case Former Belgian footballer Radja Nainggolan denies malicious intent following reports he faces a two-year prison sentence and a fine in a drug-related investigation. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/radja-nainggolan-responds-to-potential-prison-sentence-in-drug-case ### 2026-10-30: Radja Nainggolan faces two-year prison request for money laundering Brussels prosecutors are seeking a two-year prison sentence and a 105,000 euro fine for footballer Radja Nainggolan for alleged money laundering linked to a cocaine trafficking investigation. 27 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/radja-nainggolan-faces-two-year-prison-sentence-for-alleged-money-laundering --- Cite as: Radja Nainggolan money laundering investigation.
