INTER MILAN AND Italy 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.
Bastoni has been summoned to appear before prosecutors on Friday. He is alleged to have paid for sex with one of the girls, who was 17 at the time, in June 2020.
Because she was a minor at the time, paid sex 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 sexual relations, let alone with minors.”
Italian newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport reports the girl has already been questioned and while she has admitted to staying at Bastoni’s house she denies having sex with the football player.
