  1. Players mentioned in this article:

    More than 60 footballers (including an F1 driver and hockey players) have been identified as the “clientele”. Inter and Milan take the lion’s share: the keywords Bastoni, Bellanova, Blisseck, Hakimi, Coutinho, Skriniar and Carlos Augusto seem to refer to players who currently or have recently worn the Nerazzurri shirt. On the other hand, the names De Winter, Leao, Giroud and Menez evoke AC Milan players. But according to the investigators’ reconstruction, this network was also a meeting point for players from other teams who were in Milan and took advantage of the services offered: some legitimate, such as private rooms in clubs or the presence of escort girls. Others, not so much.

    For an Arsenal and international player, it evokes the keyword “Calafiori”. For Juventus players, it evokes the words Hisen (Huijsen?), Vlahovic and Arthur Melo, and also, less unequivocally, “Alvaro” (Morata?). Also teams such as Monza, Milan, Lazio, Como and Verona. Searches for “Scamacca” and “Ruggeri” point to Atalanta, while Lazio also have Nuno Tavares in their sights, as well as Maldini. At the moment, it is impossible to know whether any of them succumbed to the sellers’ insinuations.

  2. This is gross tbh. Not one of these players is being investigated or charged with a crime. It’s none of our business.

    EDIT: I see where I was unclear in my phrasing. I meant it’s gross to blast everybody’s names in the paper given that it’s not a crime, not “it’s gross to not charge them with crimes.”

  3. So they didn’t break the law and the girls were there willingly?

    I dont see how this is a big deal. Sure some of them weren’t single but that’s between them and their family.

    Also, this is all just a speculate list of names

  4. Can someone share what they did exactly?

    I cannot get into the link, but my understanding is that they attended parties where women attended and were prostitutes. But I have no idea where these parties were. Were they somewhere where prostitution is illegal? Were these girls proven to be part of sex trafficking? I feel like I need more details before I know how to feel about it.

  5. Such a boring and uneventful season, at least the players are delivering the drama off the pitch.

    I wonder how many of these players are married or are in a serious relationship. Must have been a fun read for the wives/gf 😄

    >”Unfortunately it is not a crime, it is not classified as such. The girls were totally compliant, so there is no violence; no evidence of violence has emerged in the acts of the investigation,” said the Guardia di Finanza.

    So, they’re mad because there was no IVA paid for these transactions? Lol

  8. It clearly states that not only is this not a crime on any level, but that the women all gave their consent. What exactly is the issue here?

  9. Making it seem like players across other leagues don’t do this is insane. This is a nothing burger.

  10. Sad to see Bastoni’s name in here. I’d hate to see his squeaky-clean image tarnished.
