Alessandro Bastoni under investigation by Milan prosecutors
Inter Milan defender Alessandro Bastoni is currently under investigation by the Milan Public Prosecutor's Office regarding an alleged child prostitution case. Prosecutors Bruna Albertini and Rosaria Staniaro issued a formal notification, known as an 'avviso di garanzia', to the 27-year-old athlete on June 30. The investigation centers on the activities of 'Ma.De.', a luxury escort and event agency based in Cinisello Balsamo, which allegedly provided services to high-profile clients, including professional footballers. Bastoni is suspected of involvement in an incident from June 2020 involving a 17-year-old girl. While official records link the player to the case, the individual involved has testified that no sexual contact occurred between them. The player has denied any illegal conduct and is expected to provide his statement to authorities in the coming days. Reports also suggest the footballer is currently involved in negotiations regarding a potential transfer to FC Barcelona.
