Inter Milan defender Alessandro Bastoni is under investigation for child prostitution.
It is part of a larger inquiry by the Milan Public Prosecutor’s Office into an alleged escort ring after conversations were seized during an investigation into an events company that organised “all-inclusive” nights for VIP clients at football clubs.
In one of the intercepted conversations, as reported by Italian newspaper Gazetta dello Sport, a PR representative for the agency wrote to Bastoni: “I think the underage girl wants to sleep with you. I think she wants to have some fun.” Bastoni allegedly replied: “Are there any places where we can hide there?”, to which the PR representative allegedly responded: “We’ll figure something out. At worst, you can take her home.”
Bastoni, 27, has been summoned to appear before prosecutors on Friday and is alleged to have paid for ****** with one of the girls, who was 17 at the time, in June 2020. The fact she was a minor at the time, means paid ****** would constitute child prostitution.
“My client is very shaken,” Bastoni’s lawyer, Salvatore Scuto, said. “I can rule out that he ever engaged in paid ****** ual relations, let alone with minors.”
