An investigation by the Milan public prosecutor’s office highlights an alleged network of solicitation and exploitation of prostitution frequented by a wealthy clientele, including several players playing in Serie A. According to the elements collected by the investigators, certain clients benefited from a formula “all inclusive” including an evening in the nightclubs of the Milanese nightlife district, a night in a hotel and the presence of escorts. The cost of these evenings could reach several thousand euros. Four house arrest warrants were signed by investigating judge Chiara Valori against alleged members of a criminal organization suspected of having organized this system and of having profited from activities linked to pimping and the exploitation of prostitution, while laundering the income generated.
The investigation, carried out by the economic and financial police unit of the Guardia di Finanza, made it possible to gather numerous elements of evidence on the functioning of the network. The suspects allegedly operated under the cover of an events company based in Cinisello Balsamo, which recruited women, including professional escorts, to participate in private parties and provide sexual services to wealthy clients. The women were housed on company premises and paid to accompany clients to exclusive events. Financial investigations also revealed assets that were largely disproportionate to the suspects’ declared income, with investigators estimating that their earnings came almost exclusively from the organization of these illegal parties.
