(ANSA) - ROME, OCT 18 - Disgraced paparazzo to the stars Fabrizio Corona on Tuesday night added the names of Roma and Italy striker Stephan El Shaarawy, Juventus and Italy defender Federico Gatti, and Lazio and Italy defender Nicolò Casale to four others he has already named for allegedly illegally betting on football matches.
    Turin prosecutors have not confirmed that the three are under investigation.
    Corona previously named Juventus and Italy midfielder Nicolò Fagioli, Newcastle and Italy midfielder Sandro Tonali, Aston Villa and Italy midfielder Niccolò Zaniolo and Roma's Poland defender Nicola Zalewsky.
    Fagioli on Tuesday plea-bargained a seven month ban and five months of alternative sanctions including warning youngsters not to do what he did.
    Tonali was questioned by Turin prosecutors for three hours Tuesday and his agent said he was now "playing against gambling addiction".
    Italian Soccer Federation (FIGC) President Gabriele Gravina has said the federation will help those involved with their alleged addiction.
