Alessandro Bastoni under investigation by Milan prosecutors

Inter Milan defender Alessandro Bastoni is under investigation by the Milan Public Prosecutor's Office regarding an alleged case of minor prostitution. The probe focuses on the activities of an escort agency based in Cinisello Balsamo, known as Ma.De., which allegedly organized luxury events for high-profile clients including athletes. Prosecutors Bruna Albertini and Rosaria Staniaro are handling the case, with Bastoni receiving a formal notice of investigation (avviso di garanzia) on June 30. Authorities are examining a reported meeting that took place in June 2020, during which the player allegedly met with a then-17-year-old girl. While initial media reports suggested sexual contact, the girl has reportedly testified to investigators that no such encounter occurred. Bastoni, who is the first footballer identified in this ongoing investigation, has denied any wrongdoing. The player is expected to provide testimony to the authorities in the coming days. Reports have also mentioned ongoing negotiations regarding a potential transfer to Barcelona.
