Radja Nainggolan has resumed speaking, On the arrest in Belgium on January 27th, which saw him involved in an investigation into international drug trafficking from South America to Europe. The former midfielder of Roma, now playing for KSC Lokeren-Temse, took part in the Bar Goens program aired on VTM. “It wasn’t them who needed the money, it was me. People believe what they read in the newspaper, they believe that I am the linchpin in a drug case.” “But not a single question was asked about drugs during my interrogation,” confesses the ‘Ninja’. Nainggolan admitted that he needed money because his bank accounts were frozen due to his divorce. The former AS Roma midfielder borrowed money from several people, including Nasr-Eddine Sekkaki, a figure well known to Belgian authorities with multiple convictions (involvement in robberies, thefts, escapes and drug trafficking in the country) and the younger brother of the criminal, Ashraf Sekkaki. Last January, the “Ninja” was released; coming as a sensational piece of news. After a three-hour interrogation, the investigations are still ongoing, with Nainggolan working alongside his lawyers to prove his complete unrelatedness to the case. At 14:00, the judge will make a decision whether to release him or not.
