Spy Allegations Against Marcell Jacobs: Filippo Tortu’s Brother Under Investigation In recent days, the rivalry between Italian sprinters Marcell Jacobs and Filippo Tortu has resurfaced, but with unsettling developments. According to an investigation by Fatto Quotidiano, Tortu’s brother, Giacomo, is allegedly involved in an attempted espionage to uncover any irregularities in Jacobs’ doping tests. This incident dates back to 2021, during the year of the Tokyo Olympics, when both athletes achieved remarkable success. Giacomo reportedly sought the assistance of a hacker to obtain confidential documents and conversations between Jacobs and his team, offering around 10,000 euros for such information.
The investigation has yet to yield concrete evidence of doping. Filippo Tortu has denied any involvement in the matter, stating that he learned about the situation through the media and hoping for a swift clarification of the facts. Meanwhile, Jacobs has announced that his lawyer is considering possible legal actions in response to this serious accusation.
