Inter Milan and Italy defender Alessandro Bastoni is under investigation by prosecutors in Milan over allegations related to underage prostitution. Multiple outlets report that the Milan Public Prosecutor’s Office is investigating an alleged escort ring and an events company accused of organizing “all-inclusive” nights for VIP clients. Prosecutors allege that Bastoni paid for sex with a 17-year-old girl, an incident described as taking place in June 2020. The alleged recruitment of the minor is linked to the company that organized luxury events, and investigators say private apartments were made available to clients where they could have sex with underage girls.
Bastoni’s lawyer disputes the allegations, with reporting that Bastoni “has never paid for sex,” and other summaries describe the lawyer’s position that the claim is untrue. The cases also include investigations into the agency owners connected to the alleged scheme. Yahoo Sports reports Bastoni has been summoned to appear before prosecutors, with the appearance scheduled for Friday.
