Italian newspaper La Repubblica has published new conversations related to the investigation into an escort network in Milan, in which Inter and Italy defender Alessandro Bastoni is among those under investigation. The footballer has denied all allegations against him.
According to the report, Alessio Salamone, part of the Ma.De. agency, whose owners are under house arrest, wrote in March 2025 to a Serie A footballer, identified by the initials BK, who is not under investigation: “Are you having dinner with the cows tonight?” The footballer replied: “Yes, but the one I want to be loved is me.”
In another exchange of messages, the player expresses his liking for a girl, writing: "She's very good, a beast." Salamone replies: "New transfer from the January transfer window."
Meanwhile, the Milan Prosecutor's Office has begun questioning several Serie A footballers as witnesses. The first to be heard by prosecutor Rosaria Stagnaro and deputy prosecutor Bruna Alberini, at a Finance Guard barracks, were Daniel Maldini and Kevin Bonifazi. Riccardo Calafiori is also expected to testify today.
Alessandro Bastoni is also scheduled to be questioned on Friday. He is accused of prostitution with minors, after investigators say he had sexual intercourse with a 17-year-old and 8-month-old girl in 2020, who allegedly received financial benefits in return. Bastoni has categorically denied all charges.
